After riding on it for about 1,000 miles, I can report that the Shinko 244 3.00-18 tire is excellent. It is my current choice as the best 18-inch tire for the Zong's front wheel. However, I am also eager to test both the Cheng Shin C183 and C186 tires; both of these tires are available in the narrower, 2.75-18 width.
