Had a great ride yesterday --the weather was on point here in the 757 --I've been working on my cornering for a while now --twisties here are hard to come by here --the only place I get to hit the corners is on the off ramps --I know some of you do not approve of this brand, I'm not a racer yet so these don't hurt my wallet like the others would --I ride Shinko's (shitko) Semi-Slick Stealth tires --I don't know a lot about what riders look for in tires, but from what I have experienced they handle nice in the corner for me --with my stock Dunlops I would always feel the back tire move around while cornering --they kind of spooked me a little --I'm not saying these tires (Shinko) are the best --I just saying they helped my confidence --I would love to have some Michelins or Pirellis --right now Shinkos are good for me, when it comes to price
By the way chicken stripes are gone --

That tire is mainly for drag racing. You can take in a corner all you want. I'm not a fan of Dunlops but once they get hot I'll take it over a shinko any day!!! Unless I'm at the drag strip of course!!!

That's my buck 50!

Yeah, I know they are for drag racing --I know a few guys that's been riding for years (when I say that I mean sportbike racing experience (not drag) adn teaching experience -MSF instructor) --they use shinko stealth's and they hit the corners way harder than I do --when ask how they like the tires --they don't put them over other well-known brands, but they do say they have had worst tires, and that these tires are okay --I don't

I'm not trying to scrape pegs or anything like that

I put maxxis front and rear on my cbr 2 yrs ago. My dad still rides it and hasn't had any problems. A boy of mine put some on his zx-6 and seem to be fine on his too. they are both older, skinny tire bikes though. Let US know how they are. they haven't been out too long, but when they were tested a couple of years ago, they were given good reviews esp. for the $$$. I would have tried them on the 6 but I got a good deal on some mez4's.
