    Funny, Mickey Thompson are also owned and AFAIK produced by the unmentionable , yet you don't hear the same horror stories. Maybe MTs are not generally bought by tourers.
    Hmm, I notice we are now naming.

    Mickey T are owned by Coopers only, tyres are still made by Mickey T.

    As for Cheng shin, they used to make excellent motorcycle tyres and tubes, had a set on my old Laverda and Triumph.

    Drive at excessive speeds on average or bad roads with over or for that matter under inflated tyres and there is a fair to reasonable chance that sooner rather than later you are going to have issues regardless of what brand they are.


    Sure there seems to be far more damage associated to some brands, but can only wonder if its the marketing campaign actually working against them....ie, people believe they are indestructible and don't drive to the actual conditions, because so and so said on TV that they have travelled the world and never been let down, but so and so most likely knows the correct pressures and don't drive at highway speeds.


    just my 3c worth.
