re-pop Stingray slik

[coasterbrakejunkie1969]

The edges will wear quickest & even out with the middle. See how they are after a few rides before sanding perhaps....

I was beating them up pretty good today already riding smoother.

Excellent!!

Ahhhh Sooo

Just so I an clear on the differences, the Taiwan tires were made to Schwinn specs.
They fit S-2 rims properly.
The Chinese tires aren't made to the same standards. They go on the rims with very little effort and seem to dismount when the mood strikes them.
Like Mr. Monkeyarms said, they can be convinced to act like tires most of the time so don't give up without a fight.

What brand are the better repops?

Genuinely sad that the reproduction don’t come close to the og’s. I suppose you could test your skills and build a rim that hops the opposite direction to even it out

It's not Hoppa a long cassidy here, it's got a flat spot on it.. Iv'e seen this many times before on the repops...

I have had good luck with the Duro"s and Cheng Shin tires..

The raised Schwinn Stingray lettering is nice it looks tough, all black no white letters. I have a few of the Duros they are nice.

Agreed on the Duro and Cheng Shin tires being some of China's best tires.
You can tell the Schwinn Slik Taiwan tires if you look around the bead area. They say Made In Taiwan where you cannot see it when they are mounted. It is written in small lettes to make it less visible.

It seems over inflating and some hard riding seems to have helped quite a bit. Still some high edges even though I spent the weekend doing tight circles. Once it evened out a bit I went and scored another one, again no raised White letters.
