TL;DR
What is your experience with the stock Chinese tires? I'm contemplating replacing the front tire before it ends up leaving me on the road.

Not sure what bike or year of bike you have....but never forget....with these Chinese bikes....odds are, the bike is YEARS OLD "new" when you get it.
Just sitting in storage...with the lousy Chinese rubber....will cause harm.
It's like the RV tire syndrome. You rarely drive it, but after a couple years, the sidewalls are cracked.
