My buddy has used 4 pair of street shinkos and they are cheap enough that he only wants that brand for dirt tires.

He has jshinkos on his cbr 1000 now and hes not easy with that beast.

he has claimed quicker wear but I was convinced to buy a set.

i am taking off the new brickstone up front and installing 2 new shinkos.

id like to see how many miles I get outta them because I am not an iron butter.

The tire may last 2 seasons, and if anything else last longer I dont like old tires on my bike.

the rear tire it has now was installed in 2002. but the PO claims the tire is brand new( HOLDS AIR and not the the wear bars)

I felt something but not like I did when I left for lunch. And it is bigger with no air in the tire.

 

From the pic of tire the center groove is still there in the valleys. So they must have been scrubbing for quite a while, and riding like cr@p. If you didn't feel anything then there's a good leason to be learned. Check the tires regularly before putting your life on the line. :backinmyday:
