I ride a 96 FLHR. Right now I’m in the market for tires and can’t decide between the Shinko 777 or the Michelin Commanders. Price vs. Proven. Thanks

👍
👎 yea, its April.

You’ll receive varying opinions as it is subjective. I like American Elites by Dunlop for the big tourers.

I have the Shenko's on my bike. No real feedback on them yet as I put them on last year right before my engine issues and didn't get very many miles on.

Pretty safe bet most folks would go with the Michelin over Shinko. At least I would.

Well, do not know about the Shinko, but just took off CII's, for Avon Cobras. The CII's would slip with any water them. The Shinko's maybe ok, but I will stick with the Cobras.
