Shinko SE890 Journey Touring Rear Tire (180/60-16) Review

[Eternalydamd]

I'm in need of a new rear tire, I'd rather not spend too much (still paying off my wedding and honeymoon). I was wondering if anyone has tried one of these on their F6B? I used a Shinko on my Honda NM4 once, it handled really well, was great for the twisties, and long rides...although it didn't last as long as other tires. The reviews I've been reading don't look bad for this tire, so just wondering if anyone in here has tried it? Thanks.

I just put a set of shinko's on my burgman 650.
They seem to run true but very noisy at highway speeds.

Ran a set on my 99 Valkyrie Interstate, no problem……

I went ahead and ordered the tire, hopefully it works out

Perfect time to darkside

You get what you pay for, buyers be aware. Cheap is just that CHEAP.

Ditto on the dark side, there is nothing safer than a run-flat with enough tread and water-dispersing ability, and $120 for 20.000 miles if you are that cost-conscious.

I've been thinking about going darkside, just unsure where to go to have it installed.

I took the tire off brought to a tire shop and said its for a sidecar. Paid in cash and they told me to come back in an hour.

Smart move! You can also tell them you own a Can-Am Spider which has CT's on all three corners

or say you have a Polaris Slingshot, all wheels use a CT... no problem getting mounted.
