I have ordered a set and will get them when my mate ships my bars over. I will let you know what they are like but I would assume really good as they are made by Cheng Shin :daumenhoch:

It won't say anything on the cheng shin web site as usually with these tyres (especially the coloured ones) its the distributor for that country ordering a an SMU or (special make up) for their market as they will have 2-3 large customers wanting them.
in the USA there was 2 stores BMX Guru & another guy who were ordering the white cheng shin Panaracer skin walls together in order to get the numbers up to the minimum quantity required by cheng shin in order to get them produced say 1000 tyres per colour for example.
The other guy died but before that there was problems as they couldn't decide where to get them shipped as Cheng shin wouldn't split the order & they were in vastly different parts of the country..... Unless someone like pork chop can do the the numbers on his own i reckon these tyres will be getting thiner on the ground in the future.
