I've seen them in one of the local cycle shops....they are way cheaper than the Chengs Shins, and look it....I think they are the cheapies that are sold by JC Whitney as well....personally, although I'll run Chengs, I wouldn't run the Kings. You gotta draw the line somewhere.

When I walked in I saw what looked like a huge stack of the OEM KLR Dunlops. Further inspection revealed they were King tires. Never heard of these before. They had the OEM Dunlop style and a very aggressive DOT knobbie. Their price for the front installed was $54.99 front, $65.99 rear. ANyone have any experience with these tires?

These were the ones I was asking about last week but no one responded to my post. My wife ordered a pair and will be getting them on this weekend. Skip

>kinda like the old 755 chicken-skins china metzlers that I have used

Ahhh the old 755 Chickenskin---soft cheesey rubber, low knobs..... Your friends laugh, but a better gravel tire has never been made..... Traction, predictability come at the cost of longevity; it disappears in a cloud of black rubber dust. But oh what fun. Anyone who truly loves riding fast on gravel should try this tire. Get the biggest one they make. I think the 5.30 size is actually about 4.60. Chengshin exaggerates their tire size (inflates the number) so they can list for more money.

Hi All, It's been another leisurely and fun day (including naps, lunch, beers, etc.) in motorcycle mod land. Now when my A13 speaks it says BAAAAAWUDDNNNAAA, BAAAAAWUDDNNNAAA, BAAAAAWUDDNNNAAA!!! I know this is juvenile, but I do love it!!! I'm afraid I'm another victim of the Supertrapp exhaust leak. Mine leaks between the "S-pipe" and the muffler. I'll fix that and terrorize the neighbors tomorrow. It's time for a cool one and a little sleep. Later, Jim
