Shinko Verge 011 rear tire

[GTPAddict]

I had fairly new Shinko Vergo 011 tires on my bike when I bought it. I found a screw in the center of the tread in the rear tire (180/55ZR17) about a month later. I bought a new tire for the rear, but I never added air and didn't see anything in the inside of the old tire when I patched it, but I patched it just the same to be safe. I had the intention of putting this tire back on my bike when the tire I bought to replace it wore out. That happened a couple weeks ago, but the guy at the motorcycle place scared the sh!t out of my wife about having a patched tire on a motorcycle.

Long story short, this tire will never see my bike again. If anyone wants it it's theirs. I live in Lawrenceville Ga and really don't want to ship it, so if you want it and your local come get it. If no one want's it, next time I drive my cage to work I'm gonna throw it with the other tires for the tire recycler to get.

I know there are a lot of people who don't like the idea of a patched tire, but I have also seen may posts where people tell others not to worry about the patch, it'll last the life of the tire. My wife said "it ain't going on that bike", so that's where I'm gonna leave it. I know I won't have a patched tire on my bike, but that's mainly due to my lovely wife.

I can take pictures if anyone wants one. It looks almost new, prolly about 1500 miles on it. I got 10,000 out of the set I just replaced.

Are you still running the 011's? I'm still in love with the 009s but hey you know I have a tire changer at my house and a static balancer. Next time around if you want ship the tires to my house and ride on over. I've gotten pretty good and got it down to about 30min from breaking the first bolt to torqueing the last one down

Well hell, that's what I'll do next time. This place down the street from me only charges about $23 per tire (including $2 disposal fee), which is a lot better then most shops around here. Yes, I love the 011's, just replaced them with a fresh set last month

Sounds good man, just let me know.

Bump - probably gonna drive Friday as it's suppose to be 103*F. If I do, the tire will be in Tucker until the tire recycle guys come by the shop. If anyone wants it, let me know by Friday.

sorry for the delay my freind had his "hamster jump off the wheel" and has decided to blow off the idea. he'd rather spend $200+ on a new tire then follow through on a simple task and get one for free. If my aunt lived in your town and was come to va to visit you would have met her by now. sorry if ive caused you any inconvenience.
