I was wondering if anyone out there has ran the Cheng Shin C858 Dual Sport 5.10-17 rear tire on their KLR. Tread design looks good, and the price is right.Just wondering how they handled and how they did milage wise.My mula la verde(green mule) is going to need some new shoes soon. Thanks for any info.

Chen Shinis aren't all that popular. The Kenda 270 looks pretty similar, gets good revues and is about the same price. I've got the 270 front and am quite pleased. I just ordered a Kenda 761 from swmototire for $54. This is more street oriented than the 270 baut still pretty aggressive looking.

Good morning. Try this. It should be read with a grain of salt. George Escondido, CA * Two Wheels Through Terror http://www.strikingviking.net/sv/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=80&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0>* Posted by: strikingviking on Monday, May 24, 2004 - 12:05 AM The Book Two Wheels Through Terror http://www.strikingviking.net/sv/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=index&catid=&topic=1> Here's a short excerpt from Two Wheels Through Terror ON THE ROAD IN SOUTH AMERICA November 6, 2001 Bogot , Colombia What was amazing this morning was how everything began so normal. Departing Bogot was like riding out of any major Latin American metropolitan area. There were smooth intersecting multi-lane freeways, modern restaurants and toll plazas with armed guards crouched behind sandbag bunkers. Even though I have received assurances the road ahead is safe, I am still uneasy over the upcoming ride to Medellin. Under the friendly surface, Colombia is still locked in a culture of violence.
