The cruiser street tires might perform well in dry conditions, but an adventure rider will frequently encounter mud in his travels. Under those conditions, only an aggressive tire tread will perform adequately.
Here is another photograph I found of the Zongshen ZS200GY-2 tire.  Here is another perspective for the SDL knobby tire.

That ZS200GY-2 tire looks like the best choice.

As a bare minimum, I would like to see CSC import the stock tire, and the ZS200GY-2 tire.

It would sure put many buyers at ease, especially if the price is fair.

I agree completely.
Knowing this 50/50 tire was available at a fair price, owners could ponder the possibilities of a larger rear wheel at their leisure.

Yes, I think the ZS200GY-2 tire looks like a slightly more agressive version of the Kenda K270 tire.

Update
CSC has announced the RX3 bikes imported to the United States will have a 17-inch rear wheel. Therefore, the information regarding 15-inch tires contained in this thread is now irrelevant.

No disrespect intended to the good folks at CSC, but I'd feel better once I actually saw a 17" tire on the back. Mistakes happen.

CSC did post this photograph taken on the Zongshen assembly line.

Appreciated, but we don't know what's in the containers until they're open. Again, not trying to be mean; mistakes happen.

The bikes have arrived, and we definitely got the 17-inch rear wheel.
 We can now relegate this thread to the status of nostalgia.

Hold that thought. Still useful for us the 15 inch rear wheelers.  Great info btw. Thanks!

You're welcome.
Don't worry; this thread will remain for most of the Zongshen RX3 owners who have bikes with a 15-inch rear wheel.
