It looks like it has nice tread on it. Anybody got any 1st hand experience with them?

So you bought a tire just because you thought the tread was cool?
1.) I would never buy anything without doing research on it first.
2.) If someone gave me a free set of Shinkos I still wouldn't put them on my bike.

Shinko is cheap tire that is very good for drag racing.
I was planning to get that for my bike, but i am so glad that i got the michelins pilot power.

Doesn't Yokohama own Shinko and aren't they now making a more sport based tire? They don't have the greatest reputation, but Yokohama knows a thing or two about making great tires and hopefully they will soon apply it to the Shinko brand.

I think so, just not sure.but still, Michelin or Pirelli is the real deal!

You're not getting an argument from me on that point...

Yeah pretty much ordered it because of the tread, I read the reviews and no One had anything bad to say. The tread looked a good street tire. What else are u supposed to look for?

Not even sure what to say. I've been going at this tire thing all wrong apparently.

Shinkos always outlast the bike! AKA slickhos. I would not ever put those on anything.
