Kings Tires (Any good?)

[_matt]

Hello folks,

Looking for a new back tire for the virago, was going to go with a Bridgestone Exedra (to match the front) but can't find one for a reasonable price.

WeMoto has some "Kings" brand tires in stock, so looked them up.
American by the look of it, rated for 63 stone and 130 mph, which is fine, but i've never heard of them and the website doesn't say a great deal.

Anyone used them before? any good? Not made of "super cheap slidey death crash in the wet" nylon are they?

The Bridgestone is like £5 more, why not buy that?

Kings are chinese tyres. We've got a set on our race C90 and I wouldn't call them sticky, and that is a bike that makes maybe 3bhp and we use it to dress up in a silly way at moped endurance races.

If you can get Bridgestone, Pirelli, Michelin, Continental, Dunlop, Mezeler or even *shudder* Avons, then you'll be better off than with the Kings.
