Shinkos are what you put on a bike when you sell it. Get the good tires, they are all you got between you and pavement.

UPDATE **** 4/3/2009
I took other person's advice and didn't go with Shinko tires, though the price is good and the driving I will do is in a way of stop and go. But safety first. You live once. Anyway, here is my next chose of tires:
Bridgestone Battlax BT-45 (V-Rated)
Front: 110/80 - 17 Front = $94.95
Rear: 150/70 - 17 Rear = $114.95
Let me know what you guys think. If these are good and the price is right, then I will place an order right now.
Also, I will order a RK Chain and Sprocket kit from a bike shop they are charging $170 for it and i will have them do all the work to the bike. Though I can do everything my self. I'd rather have them look the bike over. It wasn't running right during late fall and early winter.

What bike do you have?
I found this link from another thread:
Not trying to be annoying and disagree with all your choices but if you can, get radial tires rather than bias ply. There are many other threads that explain why. I think you should be able to use a 120/70 on the front, I know its hard to find a 110/80 in radial because most manufacturers don't make them anymore.

I run Shinko 005 Advance radials. Over 4k on them, plus a track day.
Not real sure why everyone thinks they aren't a good tire...probably because they haven't used them I suppose....

I have a 1993 Katana 750. I was thinking if I could go with 120/70.

I don't know much about tires for bikes, but I can say 100% that this bike will not see any track. Unless I'm in a rush and need to make a like. This bike will cruise. Plus, I put only 3,000 mile in one riding year (April thru November). Let me know if I should go with Shinko 006. Thankx.

I got my last 2 tires from www.solomotoparts.com. Metzler Z6 road techs are all I run they seem to last forever, although I'd run conti road attacks as well.

If you buy bias ply tires, I will come up there and poop in your chimney. Shinko radials > Bridgestone bias ply90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.
Originally posted by BadfaerieI love how the most ignorant people I have met are the ones that fling the word "ignorant" around like it's an insult, or poo. Maybe they think it means pooOriginally posted by soulless kaosbut personaly I dont see a point in a 1000 you can get the same power from a properly tuned 600 with less weight and better handeling.

The Battlax is a crappy tire. I didn't realize how crappy it was until I rode on a Z6. To me decent tires and brakes are a better investment than almost ANYTHING else on the machine.-Steve
