    I did a video Shinko Apex tyre review

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
