Well ive now done 1500 k's (932 miles) on my new Shinko's and i couldnt be happier......The grip levels are outstanding , even more remarkable in the wet . Having just come back from a 2 hour ride , 1 hour 45 mins of it in the rain i was still comfortable leaning into the corners on a few familiar twisties (i love wet riding) , was a spur of the moment ride so i didnt have the camera (sorry)..... Im finding it really hard to see how some people could slag off about these tyres , they do everything i ask of them and never feel the slightest bit unstable . They heat up fairly quick and hold the heat in for a long time so if you stop for a smoke/drink you dont lose much if any...There are no signs of wear yet , they even still have a few of those little rubber nodule thingy's on them although there isnt many and there is definately NO chicken strips....Something i couldnt say about the BT020's that came off it .... All in all they are great value for money so far , if your in the market for new rubber i highly recommend these .... GO SHINKO (ok :spank::spank: that was sooo LAME)
Great to hear that you have found a great tyre.
I have 2500 miles on my FZ6 S2 naked now on original tyres. They are the Dunlop Sport Max, they give good grip but have squared off now and the middle section is down to 2mm so i'll be needing a new rear soon.
I'm not sure whether to stick a new rear on and let the front wear down before i buy a pair or do i just put a new pair of tyres such as Shinko's.
I've been told that Bridgestone BT-016 tyres are good too?
