Today I received a shipment of new front tires. :)

These are the tires, listed from left to right.

CST C7202, Grand Prix, size 80/100-21
CST C7209, Surge I, size 80/100-21
Shinko 520, size 80/100-21
Shinko 524, size 80/100-21

I install the CST, Surge I, front tires on my Honda XR650L. I install the Shinko 524, front tires on my Zong. I also plan to install this tire on my CRF250X. I think the Shinko 520 and CST Grand Prix, front tires might work well on all my motorcycles. :)

Buy them cheap, and stack them deep. :P I have three bikes to keep shod with tires! :lol:

Motorcycle Superstore (MCSS) had the Shinko tires on sale. Also, MCSS just instituted a Riders Reward program, and is offering double points for a limited amount of time. Therefore, I bought the Shinko tires on sale, and also accumulated enough reward points to earn a $10 gift certificate. :D
