Title: Shinko tires
Post by Toroso on 07/14/13 at 07:57:09

Anyone here riding Shinko tires? I'm looking at the 230 crusiers. Nice price.

I've got Shinko 712's front and rear and I'm happy with them. Haven't had them on long enough to comment on how long they'll last though. Tread is a little different from the ones you're looking at, but the price is similar.

Good grip is what I'm looking for! ;) 712s are a little cheaper too.

I have the 230's on my C50, and the 712's on my Savage. They are good tires, especially for the price.

How are they doing on the cost / mile analysis thread?

I just bought fr. and rr. Shinko 712's about a week ago for my S-40 from bike bandit for $120 and change, shipped here to central PA. w/free shipping. Will be having them mounted and balanced in the next couple of days as I am starting a weeks vacation today. 8-) They got generally positive reviews @ bikebandit.

Spent an hour yesterday installing the raptor. I was having fuel starvation problems 2 up under heavy loads(low vacuum) pulling the bigger hills around here. Also had an erratic idle. I thnk the vac. diaphram was leaking. Either way, It's easier to just eliminate the problem. It was very easy to do. Bought the raptor @ bikebandit too, for $28.
