I did not think they had them anymore. Will look into it.
-
Who'd have thought Cheng Shin would still be going now? back in 76 we called them "Chook Shit" as they were pretty useless. I think rears were $30 and Yokahama 501 super diggers were $50
-
Well actually they don't have CST anymore. Phone call confirmed what i thought. Website is outdated. Trying to find a 350 x 18 classic pattern tyre for front of an old road bike. Can't be picky, choice is limited so its down to what ever is available.

are a few that still do that size. what about metzler or even mitas. that do classic tyres. recently fitted a pirelli to a bike and im sure it was that size but its not a classic style tyre.

Interesting no one in Oz seems to be doing the old Chengas any more, they had a good range of different sizes & types :)

They were the weapon of choice on my YZ80D, in 1977.

They make Avon Roadrunners in good compounds but with the same old pattern Leith.

I think Metzeler have a classic range in old style patterns.

Hey Leith, PRO Accessories in Brisbane are the Avon importers, they have the biggest range of classic road and race tyres....ring Greg 07-32770693....tell him I sent you.

IRC have a classic range, I luved me cheng shin on the back of my XR500 good on the road and grate on the dirt would let go evenly(and earlier), on a full lock power out of a corner, other brands (in the day) hung on longer but would then let go all together (slide out enevatable )
on starts out the gate hooked up well

Vee Rubber VRM109 350x18.
Where are you located?
-
I got a account with Pro Accessories and they had nothing.
Saw that CST on ebay but but it would have been nice to not have to buy at retail level when it is for a customer.
Anyway Ron Angel Wholesale came to the rescue with a Duro in that same pattern as the CST. The sales rep says they are going to remain dedicated to bringing in older/odd ball tyres for this reason because they can be hard to get. I remember last time i had to get a tyre for this bike a number of years ago it was hard too. Back then a Kings was fitted. 19 inch classic pattern 3.50 fronts are much easier to get than 18.

Discount Motorcycle Wreckers in Coburg (Vic) carries the C755 (5 x 4 pattern), saw them when I was in there last.
