"At one time about 3 years ago (1979), Cheng Shins pretty much dominated the racing scene. You can still find plenty of racers on them. The compound is good for a variety of terrains but it wors best in soft dirt. This Cheng Shin makes an excellent fire road tire, front or rear. The Cheng Shin 1.75 is a very good tire to compliment the 2.125 Cheng Shin. For those who are looking for durability in tires the Cheng Shins have it. Factory Bridgestone rider Jeff Day uses these 1.75's almost exclusively." ~ Tire Comparison Review by Bob Hadley in BMX Plus!, March 1981.

The Cheng Shin C183 tire was available as a blackwall in 20 x 1.75" and 20 x 2.125" size.
