Pros: Great tire for the money . Popular with DragRacers for price reasons and stickiness but also a very able tire for the twisties . Rapid warm up when riding and a very interesting tread patern. Highly recomended .
Cons: Water dissipation can be an issue but not with me . Depending on riding can wear out quick . A 3-4k mile tire .
Tried these tires on both a dare and to experiment . A lot of people downtalked this tire but have never used it which made me want to try it more . Known as a Drag Racer's tire since they're stick , cheap and said to have a flat profile . I got the tire and didn't have a flat profile . I have tested this tire with 1500 miles on it to date and it corners very well , no rapid wear to date with highway riding and is very sticky when heated up. Very impressed . The hard part of this tire is getting over the name Shinko . Racers call them Stinko and Shitco. But ask them if they tried them and they never have . I have had B axxs , Metzlers , and Michelin in the past . These are the 2nd best tire . For the $ the best . Only con with tire is that they don't like the rain but good on wet roads . I like them .
