My cool rear tyre

Shitkos scare me, pretty sure they make them out of melted down icecream containers.

They're like any brand, some are excellent and some bad.
I've got a Shinko I took off my 600, it was good, but I got a set of Pilot Powers, which look pretty
I had a Shinko that I could get to spin up in 3rd in the wet on my CB400 though

Am new to these radial tires damm they feel heaps better than old cross plys

Thanks for that yeah the PIRELLI strada did feel nice tire , all money spent fixing this bike

And its history being crashed am riding very carefully last thing want do is crash it .

SO tip toe around corners well size the bike not sort bike i flick around in corners more like

Just let it self go around never seem lean it very far

But seem s to have lots grip even at the front so am happy, i might still replace the front with pirelli strada

Yeah, I thought crossplies were better, they are certainly cheaper.

Have the radials improved over time?

I like crossplies on account of the price.

I'm giving the Shinko 005's a crack. New Bits4Bikes account gets $25 off the front tyre - free delivery. Then order the rear separately and get 15% off that with their Sept deal - free delivery again. So full set at $300 delivered - makes them worth a try surely!
