I have bought and used a couple dozen of the Chen Shin tires this year. While I would never confuse them with a $25 tire, they are a good value IMHO. If I want a little better tire, I usually go with the Nashbar Prima 2 tire (also made b Chen Shin by the way). I catch them on a sale for about $10.

I have also used the Pyramid tire, currently on sale for $5.
