I run the new Shinko 777’s very sticky!! And surprising price. 10 years ago I would’ve pushed my bike before you put shinkos on it. But they’ve since been bought out and have some very heavy R&D behind them now. Really impressed with that company!

I have American Elites on front and back...great tires. Has harder center for good tread life and softer sides for grip in the corners. Coming from the sport bike world, I sometimes ride my Street Bob hard in the corners and drag my boots and have found myself to scrape the primary once or twice. I never had any worries about the tires breaking loose.

Also run Dunlop American Elites... 130/16 up front, 180/16 in the rear (not stock, running FLHTCU smooth rims ) I like 'em.

Good to know the Shinko's have improved.

What kind of wear/mileage are you getting?
