No.

IIRC the Zong has a 15" rear, that tire is an 18.

If not where can you get those other's ?
No, Rider, I am afraid that the tire shown will not help you. :( The major problem with the Zong 200GY-2 is getting a DOT knobby dual sport tire for the rear wheel. The rear tire is size 130/90-15, which is a common size for street tires. However, I am aware of only one DOT knobby tire in size 130/90-15; that tire is the Kingstone DOT knobby, available only from Zongshen America.

Currently, the Kingstone 130/90-15 DOT knobby tire is out of stock, and backordered. I have been told that it will arrive soon on American shores, but the slow boat from China has been delayed several times already! :roll:

As soon as I learn the tires have actually arrived, I will post the information in a new thread on this forum.

No one is blaming you, Phil. You are a pleasant and helpful gentleman.

Thank you for your promise to notify us as soon as the tires arrive.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KENDA...#ht_1556wt_611

I know it's not the same width, but it's a 15" and it cant be to wide, I dont care if it's not a DOT approved tire, I just want to find a knobby rear tire that will fit this damn thing !!!

The Millville sticky will wear out pretty fast on the road. Look at the Carlsbad or other hard surface tire. They will still wear fast, but not as bad as the soft surface tires.

And those Ebay prices are through the roof! Try HERE instead.

I was more concerned if they would fit or not, then will look for price wise, what would be the min-max you can fit on the stock wheel, it came with a 130/90 15 so would a 90/90 15 fit the wheel ?

A 90/90 is thinner than a 130/90. It might fit, but I think it would be too narrow for the rim and wouldn't seat correctly.

I've looked at a few places and think you're going to be stuck with street tires. WTH were they thinking when they put a 15" rim on a street and trail?

i wish i could do more i have spoke with manny, over and over and over and over, i dont think this is his falt this goes back all the way to china, best i can tell with our economy plans for our country no longer take center stage this seems to go with all the chinese companies and their business pratices i can tell from the indy show the mentality is numbers, how many containers. but if its any consolation i am willing to accept and relay any beatings, stonings or verbal abuse on behalf of zongshen

Yes, read the first page of this thread. Did you order a Zong, or are you still considering the other fine Chinabikes?
