These are the Shinko Classic 240, tubed and same tire for the front and rear, they also have a tubeless version but only advertised for the front. They ride pretty good, decently grippy and confidence inspiring given their design. They are supposed to be formulated for mileage, time will tell.

I fell out of a treehouse once while peaking over the fence at a girl in a bathing suite… does that count?

You did amazing things with that 'ol girl! Looks MUCH better than the previous pictures.
I had looked at those SHinkos. Let me know how you like them after a few miles and you get them properly broken in.

I had lots of great weekends at Elsinore and Perris -- I knew (and jumped with) Pat Works, and assisted in some of his RW seminars. Had some great times with Captain Hook, the Sky Pirates, Air Freight, and Air Trash. And yeah, when I saw "CarlosGGodfrog" that brought back more than a few memories!

Blue Skies!
