You can scrimp on many things but when it comes to tyres I always buy the best I can. When some tw*t pulls out in front of you that extra bit of grip may make the difference between staying on or a big off!

spending money isnt a sure sign of getting better tyres mate, some of the 'big' brands sell shit tyres that seem to be made with PTFE

Thats true, obviously you do your research then buy the best you can afford. But as a very general rule the more you spend the better you get.
Personally I would steer clear of anything with Cheng Shin on the sides. I have bought bikes with these fitted (although not that pattern) and they did not inspire confidence and were quickly replaced. Those tyres are a copy of the ones I had on my GPZ600 20 years ago and tyres have come a long way since then.
BT45's for me!

Eric,,As far as I can remember the tyres Higgsy fitted to your 400 were not Chen Shins.
Surprised Adrian has'nt chimed in and mentioned the Classic race guys are using Chen Shins and raving about them.

Remember how we used to slag off Bridgestones and Yokohamas in our yoof, now Bridstone is the tyre of choice on the road and track. I may not have bought ChenShins 20 years ago but I wouldn't hesitate now. As Simon L says, the classic racers love em and to quote Simon H, you don't always get what you pay for on those more 'traditional' brands.
Give Chen Shins and Shinko a chance, they may be cheap but there not bad

Sorry to hear that Eric, But just think go to the pub when you want, come home when you want, no "where the hell have you been" and as many triples rallies as you want to go on
