Shinkos on the street

[Cobra Steve]

I'm not that good in the corners so they don't have to the be the best, but I also don't want them to be an extra handicap for me in the corners either. Also, how many miles did anyone get out of them riding on the street/strip? Since I ride both should I opt for the "non-ultra" tire compound? Opinions please...

Steve,

Here's a link to a tire that RJ rides on now and that I think you might consider. The Conitinental Road Attack.

I just put one of these on the rear of my CBR last weekend and I'm pretty impressed. Now granted I haven't taken it down 125 to REALLY test it, but for what I was doing around town on it I expected it to break loose and it didn't. It's a pretty sticky tire. Sadly I won't get to really test it out on 125 either since my bike is being adopted by another family soon.

Prices are about the same as the Maxxis and I am expecting a lot longer wear time. RJ, keep us posted on that Road Attack you have!

The shinko is a good all around tire.It's wider than the other 190's. It was made for the curves but the drag racers really liked them.
