Title: Shinko tire? Post by Mario Verasso on 09/29/11 at 20:40:39 Does anyone have anything good to say about Shinko 712's tires 140/90-15 or 100/90-19 |

Title: Re: Shinko tire? Post by Serowbot on 09/29/11 at 23:14:58 If you ride more than 5k miles per year... it's worth investing in a higher quality tire... Metzlers are top... Otherwise,... nuttin' bad to say about Shinko... I'm torn between a Shinko and a Kenda for my next rear... My Dunlop rear is now a slick.... ... got a Kenda now on the front... but I'm not fussy about matching... You don't want to buy a better tire than you need... It'll dry out before you can wear it out... I got nuttin' bad to say about any brand of tire... Just buy the right tire for your riding style and how much you ride... ;)... |

Title: Re: Shinko tire? Post by EJID on 09/30/11 at 07:18:41 I've got Shinko 712s on mine right now. In the same sizes quoted 140/90-15 & 100/90-19. Had them on for about 2 years now and have put on about 2,500 miles so far. I love them compared to the stock IRCs (they were severly dry-rotted when I bought the bike). I'm not a high mileage rider (6 month riding season here if we're lucky) but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Shinkos to anyone. They seem like good tires to me. 8-) |

Title: Re: Shinko tire? Post by AlphaBarney on 09/30/11 at 18:45:59 I put Shinkos on mine right after I got it. The stock IRC's were also dry rotted and cracking (noticed after I purchased...). I've got the Shinko 733/735 on front/rear. Like em so far, like the price a lot as compared to the higher end tires. Almost wish I had gone with the 150/80 on the rear, but wan't sure it would fit, so I went with the 130/90. Use my bike as a mostly daily commuter, weather permitting, and like em a lot so far. Have been caught in the rain a number of times and they grip pretty well as far as I can tell. Put about ~1600miles on them so far and they have plenty of tread left in them. For the price, I'm very happy. |

Title: Re: Shinko tire? Post by built2last66 on 10/01/11 at 02:45:40 I have the Shinko 777 100/90-19 on my front, paid $60 for it.. wish I had have waited for the white wall version but it was out of stock for 2 months and my front stock tire was really cracked and "dry rotted". So far I've put over 2k miles on it with no problems and it still looks brand new... I have a brand new IRC stock tire on the back. http://img.jpcycles.com/product/ZZ32911_a.jpg What really are the "best" top of the line brand for these bikes? |

Title: Re: Shinko tire? Post by MrBrownTX on 10/01/11 at 17:14:45 It's my understanding that Shinko used to be yokohoma so they are great tires. |

Title: Re: Shinko tire? Post by Mario Verasso on 10/01/11 at 18:57:28 I paid (58.99 rear) (41.99 front) front JcWhitney.com I have riden them for a few days now and the ride seems smoother than the Cheng Shin's i had on it. The front end doesn't follow the rain groves and uneven pavement like the Chin Shin Barracuda I had. Plus the 712's front tire apears to be more like a 90/90-19 copaired to the Chen Shin. P.S. i put 3,000 per week on my bike. Just needed some tires on it till i could get my Avon (ribbed) speedmaster 2.75X21 laced to a 21inch rim & Avon safety milelage 130/90 (MT90) laced to a 16inch rim |

Title: Re: Shinko tire? Post by Serowbot on 10/01/11 at 22:47:00 3,000 a week!,..... Jheezeeezzz!..... :o... I'm buying stock in Avon... ;D... |

Title: Re: Shinko tire? Post by Fish on 10/02/11 at 05:51:13 3,000miles per week! Even if it were 3,000km that'd still be 1,864miles per week. That's nuts. If you ride everyday that's about 428miles per day, roughly 6 hours, on a bike not totally designed for long distance trekking? O.O |

Title: Re: Shinko tire? Post by MrBrownTX on 10/02/11 at 06:44:33 That's A LOT of gas station stops on this tiny gas tank! |

Title: Re: Shinko tire? Post by Gyrobob on 10/02/11 at 07:10:18 Most folks here don't do 3,000' per week! |

Title: Re: Shinko tire? Post by drums1 on 10/02/11 at 19:57:23 I don't do 3,000 in a riding season. |

Title: Re: Shinko tire? Post by Mario Verasso on 10/02/11 at 20:56:24 I ride everywhere on this bike & I do take long distance rides on it. I do let it cool down between fill ups (smoke breaks). 100+ is just to and from work. The bike has 40,000+ miles on it now. Lets face it there is a drought in Texas so im taking advantage of it. I am getting tired of having to fill up all the time, would love another gallon or so tank. My truck is broke down and my other trucks are too far away to get right now. I do buy oil filters & other stuff in bulk so i dont have to keep ordering them & waiting. I killed my last bike, it was a 2001 Kawasaki. Took the speedo off after about 75,000. bike died about 6 months later. spun a bearing. bought that one with 1,400 miles on it. Might have had that one 2 years, maybe 3. |
