Default advice on discount tires
was wondering if any of you guys/gals had any experience with kenda, shinko, or any other brand of discount tire. my tires are in desperately bad shape and i wont have the cash in time to get the tires i want. was looking for some cheapies to get me thru the summer. id perfer not to park the bike while saving up. or, does anybody in the forum have an old used set they would want to sell me?

id appreciate any input

thanks

My Honda CB350 has Shinko tires. They are very sticky, and are wearing well. I know several riders that swear by Kenda.

I'd try either of them.
