After some thought, I've decided to give the Shinko 005 tyres a try. I've just picked up a set (Whites Racing... top blokes) F & R for $380 (fitted). I have to say that the initial impressions are very good. (See attached picture)
Up until now I've been running Metzler M1's, which gave me 11,000 km (F&R) but I really should have changed the M1's about 2,000km ago because they were well and truly shagged and really not fun to ride on.
I've heard the Shinko's don't turn in as fast, but neither did the M1's. Both have the more rounded profile on the front tyre. So, as far as turn-in goes, feels exactly the same to me.
I'll post up reports as I go along.
