I'm a Cheng Shen flamer. But I have to say I was pleasantly surprised byt
the Maxxis (CS subsid) wide whitewall. Handles well. I ran 120s on both ends
which made the bike lazy in steering. But that was kinda what I was after.
The rear has worn rather quickly. But at less than half the cost of a dunlop
WW, I'm pleased.
I'm beginning to re-evaluate CS tires. After all they are not the same tires
they were 15 years ago. Still, I won't expect much from them. My current
stance (if anyone cares) is burn em up before they get a chance to get hard
and nasty.

It was popular in the 70's when I first started riding Guzzi's and comes in the 4.00X18 size. JC Whitney sells them for around $45 apiece. They are 6-ply and very tough. I ride my Ambo everywhere, and have never had a problem. I live in Las Vegas, and they hold up to the desert heat very well. I always liked them because they work well in the dirt, like in graded roads. Actually, they were used for flat track racing in the 70's. Besides all that, I like the period look.
