A sore subject since my best replacement tyre for the Dunlop HP, Cheng Shin CSP Super HP made tyres sold under Ascent name are no longer stocked by Nashbar (the big cycle outfit on the web). They have a very similar tread pattern to the Dunlops, perform very well on the Dunlop HP rims and look the part. They take 90 psi. Highly recommended on all accounts and they are CHEAP. I just wish someone would stock them. Maybe someone in the UK does.
