250 is more than I care to pay for a rear tire but they look nice.

Nice to have another option but I can't see them selling too many at $250 a pop.

Not sure how they expect to sell many, when the one and only competitor, the Pirelli Scorpion Trail, sells for a cool $80 less, and has a solid reputation already.

Something a little more aggressive, but without the poor treadlife of the TKC would go VERY far in this size I think.

I'm thinking something like these:


Regardless, the fact that more options are appearing is a great thing, and could lead to more options like these, assuming the current options sell. I think the Scorpion Trails have been selling fairly well, I know several folks on here have them.

It also doesn't make any difference to me personally, as I now am running a 110/19" front and 150/17" rear

If they made a Shinko 705 in a 180, even a 160 or 170 I would run them. I burned through a 150 on the uly a while back. It only lasted 3k miles but it was under $90
