[QUOTE="backlander, post: 93573, member: 2035"] I'll go first I guess. I purchased my 86-1200 on April 4, 2011 and it came with a Shinko 230 Tourmaster on the rear. I talked to the PO about the tires and he stated that he had the rear tire put on when he bought the bike from original owner and since then had put a hair over 5000 miles on it. During the next year and half I put 10,980 some odd miles on the tire. That is around 16000 miles on the Shinko and it still has 3/32 tread depth in the center groove. A new Shinko has 10/32 depth in the center. Only one trip of 150 miles each way, only one two up for approximately 20 mile ride, rode in one of the hottest summers and warmest winters for that year and half. I guess I'm and all around rider, sometimes aggressive mostly calm, cruising around 65 mph enjoying the scenery. I am prone to some excessive acceleration from time to time. The two times I was caught in rain it performed well. I run 40 psi and check the tire pressure at least weekly. As far as loaded weight, normal Aspy weight plus my 300 pounds and maybe 10 pounds of tools and spare parts in saddlebags. As for me, I think their a great tire for the money. I think it held up well as most of my riding included a lot of stop and go driving and 90 degree turns on city streets, rural two lanes and some divided four lane. [/QUOTE]
