I did a video Shinko Apex tyre review

[Quasievil]

I spent a bit of time on this, so do be kind, I was reluctant to even post it lol

The video says it all really

If you dont and wont like it, watch the later part with some cool drifting action with Jay Lawrence.

Good vid, but don't see me shelling out my coin for a set, as you mention at the end there is better rubber out there and i like to know I have that better rubber under me when riding.

:sunny:

Yeah good vid, but would like to know wet weather performance and wear rates.

Will need to see top riders using them before I'd consider.

?? just showed you two on the video.

But anyway Im not here to convert anyone, they are a good solid option out there, people have many options and these arent a bad one:yes:.

Be interesting to hear how many k's you get out of them and also if they have handling/Wear consistency through out there life.

Hi, Yes Im going to keep going with the "project" I will do another video in a couple thousand kms and another trackday or so:yes:

When you do a review on one tyre it's not normally a good idea to have a cap from the opposition prominently displayed!! You should probably wait until you've finished your washing too haha.

Good little vid though mate, well done :niceone:

[RideLife]

Good start there Brett.
Needed a 'after track session' pic of the tyres though.
Next track day in the wet maybe would be a good progression.

What camera did you use?

Im just starting to muck about with them.

You're a brave man Quasi :yes:

Nope, Shinko are distributed by Whaites, who also distribute Bridgestone (they brought eurotreads)
I didnt have a Shinko cap lol

Good point on the washing machine haha

A very small one, its a Panasonic sdr-s7 very handy and takes good footage, love it, fits in my jean pocket even!

What would you film in your pocket?:shit::sick:

Nothing, they are usually empty

It says you have a face for radio:laugh:

[saul]

Hey thanks Bret. That was very interesting. :yes:

Tyre confidence is so very important. Did they feel good straight away or did it take a while for your head to get around the fact that they were not your usual choice of tyre?

Do they come in different compounds?

Are you running a 190x55?

What pressures did you run on the track.

[Quasievil]

straight away they felt great, nice steerability in the front and very good in the corners, I was pinching myself thinking "are these Shinkos "!!
Dude they are fantastic, Im sold on them

I run 36/36 on the road, and 30/30 on the track (cold)

190/55 yes
