Too scared, Poppy. A life or lives depend on tires.

I ran plenty of 'em, have the retro one on the rear of my Shovel. Good tires for the money. Wear is alright. I don't stress too hard about cheap tires so long as there's a tube inside.

I ran Shinko and Cheng Shin tire on my Shovels. But they didn't go fast enough to worry about any speed rating. The tires were **** cheap and lasted well enough that I was happy with them. At the time I was flat broke and thats all I could afford. When I have the cash I buy better tires, when I don't I get by with what I can afford.

They are cheaper but Don't last. 3200 miles on the rear and needed replacement. And I'm a fairly conservative rider. 15,000 miles out of a Dunlop AE. I know my choice.
