I have never heard anything good about shinko tires. I’d stay away.

The one that I handled off the rim was a piece of junk. Thin soft sidewall, super soft. I would not trust it with my wife on the back if that tells you anything. The tire couldn't even hardly keep its shape it was so soft in the sidewall the tire installer had hell getting it to bead up. It is more than likely sticky and has great grip but not for long and not to be trusted in the south texas summer heat or and highway speeds either.

I ended up using avon roadrunners on my shovel and they are good tires. to me they perform well and look like a tread pattern that fits the bike, mine is 79.
