Ryon Schuller Swanton,  VT great tire I put this tire on my 98 virago 1100. I never heard of Sinko before (been around and riding bikes my whole life). I did a little research and read all the reviews I could find. Very little negative was said. So I figured the price was right why not give it a try. Shipping was fast, ordered it Sat. night and was at my door Thurs afternoon and on my bike Fri. morning. After a 60ish mile break in, I decided to see what it could do; I was very impressed held the corners very well. Straight line / interstate ridding it holds its line doesn’t wonder all over like some tires tend to do. I’ve put about 1200 miles on it so far and no real wear to speak of. Been in 1 rain storm with it so far, held the road great. When I ride 2 up with my girlfriend handles fine and the extra 120lbs don’t seem to faze it in the lest. Great tire great service great price.

Brian Auburn,  NY Shinko - Balance I have been using this type of tire in this size since 1979. In 30 years of trying Michelin, Metzler, ChengChin etc... I can tell you that the Shinko has become my favorite due to the better ride and excellent all weather handling. I also found that I hardly need to balance these. Before I liked Michelin but they had become less available and expensive. Sure, the mileage wear was good but so stiff that the ride suffered. You could also buy a cheaper tire but then they need lots of balance weights and either stink in wet weather or wear out in 6K miles.

Jeff Tarbell Berkeley,  CA Great tire at an Amazing Price I love this tire! It hugs the road and gives you a feeling of complete confidence angling into the turns. The fit, finish, tread pattern and price are all top-notch. At this price you can't go wrong. I read the great reviews this tire has received from other Superstore customers, and now I can proudly add my name to the list. Why pay twice as much for the same quality tire? The folks at Motorcycle Superstore had my tire shipped to me in a matter of days and would definitely do business with them again. Put a pair of Shinkos on your bike and feel the difference. BTW, I own a 1982 Honda CX500C, and now it feels like a brand new bike.

Tim Scholz Waxahachie,  TX Shadow 1100 with Shinko 230 rear Tire I put this tire on my 2000 Shadow Spirit 1100, I was hesitant to do so because of the cheap price but I have to say that I was very pleased, it really grabs the road. I am an aggressive rider and have dragged the kick stand bracket several times since putting them on. The Dunlap 808s that are factory made the bike feel loose; I will never put them on this bike again. It will be interesting to see how the Shinko's last thus the 3 rating. I generally only get 4000 out of my back tires so I will know in 3-4 months when I replace this one.

Tom Ferndale,  WA Shinko 230 Tour Master rear tire on my 1984 Honda Goldwing I just replaced my old Dunlop Elite II rear tire with this Shinko Tour Master. The Dunlop Elite is a favorite of Goldwing riders. Well, this Shinko is an excellent replacement. It rides smooth and quiet and transitions nicely going from a straight line to a curve. I purchased the matching front tire and so far couldn't be happier. I've only had it a month so I can't speak to its wear qualities but if I get reasonable wear from the tire I'll be replacing it with the same tire. Note: I gave it a 3 for durability and features because I wasn't allowed to leave these fields blank. For the price this tire can't be beat. I've read many comments about Shinko tires on several bike forums and many people love them.

Dragan Pupucevski Rochester,  NY Shinko - 230 Tour Master Rear Tire I purchased this tire for my 1978 CB750A in place of my Dunlop's and I am very satisfied with it. Great handling smooth tire. The best tire for the money period.
