What does evryone think of these for a cheap tire? I'm looking at running 4.00 x8 903 on the rear and 3.5 x8 932 I believe on the front of my softtail. Does anyone have pics of them on there bike? Where can i order these from that has reasonable shipping everywhere ive found them charges almost as much as the tire for shipping

Here's my bike with king tires

What size are they the 4.00 or 3.5 and how do you like them?

they're the 4x8. they look good on the bike. so far no complaints but to be honest i haven't ran em very long. got em at a fair price from cycle gear

I have kings on my z. They are good cheap tyres but I've heard they don't grip in the wet(when mines nice and dry in the shed) I have the 3.5 inch, but wish I had got the 4.0 for the rear.

I got mine from the local bridgestone tyre place. they ordered them in for me.

IMO, the kings 4 x 8 look too big for the bike, and the 3.5 x 8 look a tad small. I went with the Hiedanu K75s instead, but they can only be sourced from overseas, and thus shipping isn't that cheap, but they have pretty good grip, and race oriented tread design.

Not my bike. They are 3.5 x 8. Finding a place to ship the Kings to Canada from the States was a hassle, and would have cost the same to ship the Heidenaus from Europe.
