Does anyone out there have any knowledge on Shinko tires. As say compared to Michelin Pilot powers. I can't find anything on google that really tells me how they work and the guys at the motorcycle shop have never heard of them.....:idunno:
you ride that fast on the street!?? haha just kidding:evilaugh: me 2 on ocasionso what - we can start another " you ride that fast on the street " argument ? ....let's just say the tires have performed with no problems into the 140's mph range on a few closed roads around here.. no problems leaning into turns nicely around the twisties also, once the tire is warmed up properly,and correct tire pressure is set ....like i mentioned, they perform just as well as the pirelli that i had on the back before.Depending on how much mileage they get out of them, i would buy them again 'so far' !
lus1:slickwill and lanbrown just sold a set of shinko's!!!! you should ask for a commision from that dealer. You argued him into buying the tires. Now he's gotta prove a point.
Here's the deal though guys, and you should know this slickwill, not everyone on this site pushes their bike to the limit. Some people just want something to cruise around on, and that is great. I see nothing wrong with someone who just wants to ride. Who are we to call someone a "poser" because they don't try to take every curve on their knee. I thought the whole point of this site was for all of us to band together. Not call each other names because they don't do things the way we do. The man is on 2 wheels and in my mind that is all that matters. Not that he can turn the hottest lap on track day. Not everyone has $300 or $400 for tires. We should all applaude this man for actually researching his purchase. Isn't that what everyone always says? "I've never used them, you better do some research before you buy em." He had links and articles from several sites to back his story, but he's the poser.
I say good job renegade. i hope the tires work out for you. Come back and give us a good review, obviously not too many people here have tried them.
I can't stand that there are people on this site that feel like because you don't spend your life on the track, you must be a poser or a lesser man. Riding is riding men, no matter how you do it. We would all do well to remember that.
