Hi. Has anyone had any experiance with Shinko tires on the road i,m looking at getting either the 005 advance in the 200/50/17 or the 009 raven in the 200/50/17. any comments on these tires will be helpful. thank you.

Ask SKIDMARKS. Sure he had em on when he stacked.

yep, shinkos front and rear, theres a few factors involved in my stack, but i think the tyres did play quite a part in it, accounts from all witnesses (15 odd people) my back tyre hit a slightly damp patch on the road, under acceleration, broke traction at 140ish k's, and spat me, never will i use shinko's again,

not blaming the tyres entirely, but as i said, they definatly played a part, as another busa hit the same patch, accelerating just as hard, but with different tyres and he didnt even notice it

So do you think the Avon AV56 would be the better tire to go for i just want to put a 200 on the back and Shinko and Avon seem to be the only 2 that do that size. cheers.

grumpy all the big manufacturers should do a 200 section rear. I used to run a 200 bridgestone battle axe on the rear of mine and also a 200 pilot power.

Skidmarx where you using the flatter profile drag type tyres or where they the road style tyres they are now producing? I used a drag style on the back of my gen2 for a while and it was ok but you could feel the edges cornering.

[Skidmarx]

im not sure what its supposed to be, but it is quite square, very sketchy in corners, i didnt think much of it as iv been known to hang the ass out on the odd occasion, ill find out exactly what they are, lethal in the wet, and not much chop in the dry

And grumpy iv never ridden on avons, so wouldnt realy have an informed opinion on them, but my opinion on tyres in general is you get what you pay for, cheap tyres in my experience can become quite nasty very quickly

[Dan85]

skidmarx sounds alot like the drag style tyres. they work well on the drag strip but not real good in the wet or corners.

[grumpy]

only 200s i can find on that rocky mountain site is either Shinko,Avon or dunlop and im not a dunlop person the avon storm2 seem to have a good write up.

Just ordered some new Shinko "hook up" drag tyres. Got them from Mad Micks Tyres in Goodna near Willowbank. Good price and low freight cost too.

I know you get what you pay for... but right now I can get a set of Shinko 009 Raven high milage sports tyres delivered to my door for $259

Local dealer wants about $263 for a PR2 REAR ONLY or $475 for set on rims

Ask them about the build date Tony. I got a set of Shinkos from QLD for $299 delivered a few years back and the build date was only 3 months old. Tyres were great, sticky touring tyres. I loved them!
