    Frankly I don't think they could possibly be as bad as the Cheng-Shins. Those have got to be the worst tires I have ever put on a bike. I have a set on my 400 and I think I would have been better off with a set of mountain bike tires. Don't get me wrong, they grip ok, but they wear really badly and have really bad cupping problems, even on the back tire.

    The PO put new Cheng-Shins on mine when I bought it. Wear wise they have been good. No cupping or odd wear. But traction is scarry in wet. Dry ok.
    But I will never buy them again.

      tire store I talked to today said they stopped making cheng shins. He should know since he sells them and can no longer get any new ones. The two wheeled world may be a better place now.
