[QUOTE="Silverado6x6, post: 93676, member: 3021"] Last weekend I installed new Shinko 230 Tourmasters on my 89 Venture Royale, but we then had some serious rain all week, prior to that were some very old Metzelers on the bike and I was riding in occasional rain with them, forecast is clearing weather up here in Alaska the next week, temps for a high of lower 60's so I am looking forwards to see how they feel as well, they balanced wonderfully, I ran 36fr 38 in the rear, may adjust the rear higher to 42. Shinko does not specify proper tire pressures so its up to us to evaluate the magic numbers and very soon I will get another set of the same Tourmasters for the 85 Interstate I picked up today. They do have a decent load rating I noticed. Not quite as high as the 880 Metzeler nor are they radial. From other reports many have found the tire a joy to ride on and some others say they are very sticky and have worn down fairly quickly, some swear by the Dunlop Elite 3 for the big touring bikes like the Goldwings and Ventures.
