Best 18" tyres for a bucket

I was very impressed with a South Islander on a small Ching Shin, it was something like a 519 and cost about $35. If you can find them I think Dunlop TT900GPs (sticky version) are the go. Bit pricier than the Cheng Shins though.

I'm currently runnung cheng shins. (up here in Napier) A 17x2.5 on the front and a 18x2.75 on the back. The front one only cost $34 and hasn't let me down yet. But i would suggest out on a decent track (like the wellington guys have) that finding some really sticky rubber would be a good idea.

Thats a good point bud. Nothing personal, but as a word of warning... never run a cheen shin on the road. I think its taiwaneese for "hahaha this'll fuck them!" On the road they just dont stick at all

Yep well i'm still a getting money togeather for a road legal bike, so no chen shin's on the road yet. But i fitted the front tyre off that frame you gave me to the rear rim of the a100 so i'll be seeing how that goes next practise day. She looking a little bit tidier nowdays. Next step will be engine mod's i think, if i can spare the time and money...
