Astro like you I highly recommend the shinko's they are an unbeatable bargain. I run them on the road on the turbo and was also delighted with their performance on the K8, she held everyone thru the corners so no issues with grip, longevity - well they only lasted 5 days or so but that equated to 6-7 thousand k's all at speed and in high heat. They outlasted the bridgestone tourers that cost 50% more.
Both the bridgestone and shinko tore themselves to pieces when they overheated, wear was incredibly fast - they were fine in the morning and virtually bald that afternoon. Again they outlasted the bridgestones so all good.
The revelation of the trip was the Michelin road 2's they did not overheat and are still going strong with plenty of tread, more than double the life of either the bridgestones or the shinko's under the same conditions. I have already called ahead and reserved two sets of Michilins one for the turbo and one for the K8.
