Scott, have you found enough difference (quality, wear, etc) to justify the difference between the Chineese and the Dresser tires?

Bill,

 

I recently received (1/19/06) two nice Chin tires and tubes from Aerocrafters for $16 and $7 each along with three plastic anti pinchers at $4.50 each (my cereal box cardboard is getting hinky).  Strangely, they thought I needed the order instantly so the freight was $48.

 

I have never used Dresser tires since I didn't know they existed until recently, but more important than wear is inflated shape.  Will they fit?  I would say that the nose tire would not be a fit problem but my Chin doesn't show much wear in that position.

 

BTW, Chin tires from Aerocrafters I bought a year ago arrived misshapen, as though they had been at the bottom of a pile for a long time.  These good-looking newer ones have two colored stripes along the tread.  What does that mean?
