Agree with everyone else on the grip - they are sticky for sure! Im not diggin the ultra soft compound at high speeds on the Street Glide though- too much wobble and drift. Guys I know riding dynas love em tho. Im going back to Metz

Man, took the Shinko777 off the back and slapped a Metz 888 on there to match the front- man what a difference! Not sure if it was the 2 treads not playin well together or the Shinko just wasnt up for the big bagger.
I can tell you this much, with the Metz off the rim trying to push on it and get it to flex was almost imposible. The Shinko on the other hand was weak and flimsy. Metz =steel belts with patented technology, Shinko = nylon belts & whatever.
Cheers to you guys diggin the Shinkos, Id love to spend $100 on a tire and love it but for me it was just a waste of time and money. Anyone in NorCal wanna buy a 777 with 200 miles on it lol?
