There was some talk a few weeks back about the quality of Shinko tires. My first set was great, good handling and 8K on the rear which I thought was good for the price. My second set is a different story. Currently on a trip with less than 3K on the set and wondering if the rear will make it home. Maybe something in the cake mix changed, but these are not looking good. Just an FYI for the forum.

Yup, Kees got one with soft sidewalls, damn near killed him!
I am running stinkos right now and I love them, smooth, quiet and sticky. As to how long they will last I haven't gotten to that yet. The rear does seem to be wearing but, I ride every chance I get so.. My next rear will be something else most likely. No more Dunlop 402s though. Just like on my cars the question I have is are they black and round?
Put a set of Shinkos on my 98 Road King the first of spring. Got 1320 miles out of rear tire. Replaced it with a Micihlin Comander II. Shinko still on front. Looks ok so far ( 2300 miles )..........................................
Michelin Commander II are what a good many around here have gone too. I have a set on my Venture and I can say they will be on the Evo when the time comes.
We just got back from Brason Mo and did alot riding there.
Avons were once my choice of tires but no more.
There is a shop in Pryor not far from Tulsa that I know. Good fella that will help if he can, he just won't be in the shop till Tuesday.
