The Shinko 005 is the next tire I am going to get... My buddy has a 240 on his big dog... it is a great tire... nice compound. I believe he has 5000 miles on it and it has very little visable wear.richard3 said:

Toby... the 1st youtube was for a Shinko 777 tire.. they are known to be the "budget" shinko... The second link.. was the one I also posted... again.. sportbike on a track being pushed real hard... 3rd link is for shinko 009 touring tire... They guy gives it a great review.... the tire the guy who started this thread was talking about a Shinko 005 advance tire... If anybody burns up a tire in less than 3000 miles... he is riding WAYYY past the bikes intended use... for real... My stock tire has 7000 miles and shows almost no real signes of wear... and yes.. I was raised on Yamaha crotch rockets and I feel like I push my STRYKER pretty hard in the twisties... yet, I have alsmost no wear.... Who here really ran out of tire before 5000 miles?? Short of doing burnouts and skids, the tire should last 4-6000 miles!!! Easily.Toby said:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGtTgBgbGUI

I'm still seeing reviews from people that say between 3 and 5k miles off these tires. As you know I have been able to ware name brands out in 3k to 7k on all my bikes. I,m at over 4k on the Metz on my Stryker and near 7k on the 950 also Metz Don't think either one is going to see 2k more miles before ware bars. Not going to chance putting a tire on my bikes that others are getting low miles on that probobly do not even see the type roads I ride. I'd probobly burn on of those up in less than 2k miles.
BUT.. all this being said ... it is truly user preference... chevy over ford... goodyear over firestone... cruiser over crotchrocket..... $275.00 over $165.00... etc....
Dang Toby..I take it all back.... dang....Toby said:Ya I just pulled up a few links to read some reviews, My earlier research on tires found more negative reviews on Shinko than good for the size tires we need.SFCMcGan said:Toby... the 1st youtube was for a Shinko 777 tire.. they are known to be the "budget" shinko...

I did.
I'm not sure if any one but me on this forum has worn tires out that fast but the guy at the v Twin shop says he has seen Bridgestone bald with less miles than mine. I guess you have not followed my post on tire wear. The first 2 months I had my bike I wore the rear completely bald on the sides first then in the middle paper thin in 3,100 I'll post pics.
I by no means rode it beyond it's design capabilities. I hadn't even got used to the bike yet. It's just the roads where I live will exploit any weakness that any vehicle has. Tires and brakes especially.
