Anyone out there ever use Shinko tires on their bikes. I have found some pretty good deals on them and the one bike dealership close by carries them and says nothing but good stuff about them. Before I buy a set I would like to get a little bit of info on them.

Shinko = Stinko

Here is a recent review of them:

Never tried them myself. I believe that only the best tires are good enough.

Tires are the most important part on your bike. Saving a $100 on a $5000 to $10,000 bike seems to be like a false economy.

If you use the bike for a lot of commuting, and are less concerned with handling, they might be a good idea.

"don't knock it 'til you've rocked it"

i'm running the 009 raven radials on my 9 front and rear. i like em and have had no traction issues with them. i see alot to ricers with them, but have only found a few on buells (here on badweb, not in person).

they should out last my previous pirelli judging by the first few thousand miles wear
