New tires - Shinko

Anyone have feedback on the Shinko brand? Looking for a new front tire for '82 ZK750 LTD.....

Thanks -

i have them on my CB750 and i like them, they are cheap they grip decent on dry and wet pavemment and so far they are wearing well. i dont push them that hard though, they are under a rigid frame with maybe four inches of ground clearance, so im not really diggin into the turns too hard. i think mine are Shinko 712's.

you mihgt also want to check out kendas, they are cheap too and I like the grip and look of the cruisers, the challengers are a bit sportier but don't look as good.

yea my Jap indie guy really likes those too, and he knows his stuff, either one are good up to around 80 mph constant but much more is risky, so he tells me

good tire for the money.i wore one out on the back of my z1r when i first installed the r1 wheel.i never had any complaints and push it hard enough to drag stuff on back roads.
