Today I rode about 50 miles after installing Shinko 705 front tire.
I bought it for 2 reasons:
I always buy Shinko tires
It was the cheapest tire of my size. ($63 shipped)
I usually buy Shinko 712, but they don't make them 130/80/17 front

Somehow I missed that it was dual sport tire. (BTW, speed rating is 130 mph)
I felt some vibration in the beginning of my ride, then it decreased or almost disappeared. Maybe I just stopped paying attention to it.

I have dual sport tires on the dual sport. They wobble more at speed. They should say on the site if they are 50/50 dirt and street. They might be 10/90 or 20/80. Being 20/80 as dirt/street.

I've had that little 250 up to around 84 mph counting the speedo off variable percentage etc. They might wobble depending on the tire. If you picked up a d606 id be worried but the shinkos should be like a 20/80 dirt to street.
