Thanks for that Sven...Seems I've been misinformed about rubber content!...Anyway I agree with your general comments...Safety is the most important feature, not wear rates...Also, another aspect is it's phsycological...If you don't like how a tyre feels on the road you'll never be happy, however good it is....Ian

Hi Ron ,
Thanks for the tip .I've seen those Cheng-shin tyres but couldn't find them in 3.50 x 19 size . I'll have another look ,where do you get them from ?
I was surprised when i saw how the tyre had worn down so quickly , but i do have my lad on the back quite a bit !
I put about 28 psi the rear tyre and 26 in the front .
I'd rather pay the money for a tried and tested tyre, than take a chance on a cheap and cheerful one .
Besides it needs to be good to handle all that power in the bends etc !
Cheers ,
Phil.

This firm appears to have them Phil. As long as they're prepared to split the pair or maybe sell you two of the Universals. https://www.classicbikepartscheshire.com/wheel-brake-c224/tyres-c118/pair-of-classic-motorcycle-tyres-front-ribbed-rear-6-ply-rating-p3221/s3276?cid=GBP&glCurrency=GBP&glCountry=GB&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwnqK1BhBvEiwAi7o0X5jeSKs3jMUNYeL22DlmCxjVGha3n40n_v-fjb0XAM0z4OMcLb6FXBoCs2wQAvD_BwE

Hi Ron , I’m confused now 🤔I looked up your link and it says the tyres are made by Servis , not Cheng-Shin ?
I think Servis are a Pakistan make of tyre . I am steering towards the Kenda make , if I can’t find a Cheng-Shin in the right size .
Cheers,
Phil.

Sorry about that Phil. I've no knowledge of "Service" tyres. However I have done many miles on other bikes for years with these.

Ron, do you also use these as frontwheel tyre ?

Absolutely Michel. That's why they're called "Universal" All WD bikes had block pattern front and rear. These on my WD/G were only half worn out but I just replaced them and the tubes for Normandy this year. BTW the rim clamp bolt is just a dummy to fill the hole. Ron

Hi all ,
Thanks for all the feedback on the tyre choice help . There is , as always things to look at with this , quality of product , how confident you feel with the tyre on the road , cost , etc .
I,ve used over the years the Dunlops and Mitas tyres and had no problems with them. I was looking for a cheaper version of the K70 , but I think I’ll go for the Mitas again , not wanting to try/ risk the
other options .
Cheers again , Phil.
