I went on the excellent advice of BackLander and how well these Korean tires were working out for him and how well they performed for such a reasonable price. I was currently running Metzler TourTeks on my CBR1000fs due to a mates recommendation and had been extremely pleased with their performance over the years. I noticed that some Shinko customers weren't happy with their mileage but most praised their performance and I believed that they would be perfect for my riding style as I didn't expect to ride more that 6k miles in the States. I am now on my second set of Shinko 230s on the Rats Nest and couldn't be happier apart from the fact that I pay twice as much for them here in Oz. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />I would of fitted 230s to Val (98 GL1500c Valkyrie) but the rear was not available in the 180/70x16 that I required so I have fitted a Shinko SE890 Journey instead.[GALLERY=media, 29208][/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 29209][/GALLERY]At the time of fitting I had 9000ks on the odometer. My first real ride on Val was last weekend with about 350ks of hard performance riding around some of my most favourite local roads. I was more than pleased with the performance of the new rear Shinko SE890 and it was only hampered by the old Dunlop E3 on the front which needs replacing soon.[GALLERY=media, 29225][/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 29226][/GALLERY]</blockquote>
