Rinaldi tyres.
« on: March 16, 2012, 05:35:25 AM »
Anyone tried them ?
I can buy them at half the cost of anything else.
They are round and black with knobbly things on them, How bad can they be.

P.S. They are not for the TM. I have new XC12 front and Kenda rear.

My brother has run Rinaldis and said the rear was an excellent value but the front chunked.

Chen Shin tires developed such a bad reputation over the years that they renamed themselves Maxxis.Some of the early Cheng Shins could only be removed with a hack saw.  :-X

Are you sourcing them locally, i'd be interested in running them if they're any good.

That's what I had,just about impossible to install but I'm sure you could run it without air and not notice the difference.

Yep.
The importers are Northern Accessories who produce " The dirt guide".

  That doesn,t sound like fun,I change my own tires and hate the super stiff sidewall tires,that are difficult and usually heavier. Anyone know if Kenda tires are like this also ? Kenda has a new sticky compound tire called arenacross, anyone ever try this tire ? thanks

I tried the ching shins many years ago, after one ride i refferd to them as cheap s#!t's.
A couple of years ago my son tried a set of maxis tires... the were supposed to last a long time in the desert.
The good news is they last a long time, the bad news is his bike handled like crap the whole time.

I try to find good deals on tires I like, You can get Dunlop's on sale for $150-$170 per set online and $120 at the track.

The KDX I bought came with maxxis cross intermediate front and rear tires. Complete garbage.

I had a different experience with Cheng Shins back in the '80's, the sidewalls were so thin and cheap that the rears would flat if you hit a cigarette butt.  I used to throw them on any used bike I was selling because they were only about $20, but a shiny new tire would add $50-$100 to the sale price.  Never tried (or heard of) the Rinaldis.
