I am afraid that my Kingstone tires are all used up, DR. :(

I have discarded the Kingstone 100/90-18 front tire. However, the Shinko 244 in size 3.00-18 is far superior to the Kingstone front tire. Also, the Shinko 244 is much less expensive!



If you wish, read the following thread for the details regarding the photograph above.

Below is a photograph of all the rear tires I have used on my Zong.



On the left is the stock Cheng Shin Barracuda. Next is a very worn Kingstone 130/90-15 tire. I currently have a Kenda K760 TrakMaster in size 100/100-18 mounted to the YamaZong’s rear wheel. I love this tire! On the right you see a Dunlop D752 tire in size 110/90-18. This tire came mounted to a Yamaha XT225 rear wheel I bought on eBay. I rode this tire for several thousand miles, and it was excellent. My good experience with the Dunlop D752 encouraged me to try the Kenda K760 TrakMaster. I have been very pleased with the Kenda K760.

As you can see, my Kingstone 130/90-15 tire is completely worn out. If it had a few miles left on the tread, I would gladly send it to you for the shipping costs. However, I don’t think I would send even my worst enemy riding on this tire in its present state of wear.
