Shinko 777 is a soft compound.very soft compared to metz880.let alone harleys dumlops.
I can dig my thumb nail in to the tread,with out much effort. About as force it takes to pick ur nose
They stick pretty good in the corners,to well maybe as im close to burning a hole in my primary cover. Bike sits up like a fxdx
1oohp bike,i can blow the tire off still if i want,in 1st, 2nd is 70/30if it carries the hoop,or slips up
I was all about getting night dragons,or cobras. Then came on to the shinkos. Friend had them on his bike,only cause that what he could afford.thumb nail durometer,and price made me say wtf,if i hate them not out much.
I cant say what one is more sticky,havent ran the others.but the shinkos for the price.......
Got about 6g out of the metz,on my 3rd shinko this year. going to say they avg 4g riding hard. Did burn one off in 2.5gs. had a **** pulll out on front of me, And flat spoted the tire with 4oft plus skiding.since tire was about a week old,did my best to round it back out with the throttle.other two bit more then 4,ooo to the wear bars,about 5ooish more after that.
Only issue ive had is getting them mounted.catch flack for being cheap,wont last 10k,and it takes alot of snot to mount them. As they dont pop on like a leather sole court shoe on a ice rink.they will stick to the rim/mounting shoe if not lubed up well.

If u ever ran the 880s,and got a 100mile haul *** run on them to really heat them up,thats about how sticky the777s are dead cold. about how i would compare the dumlops to the 880s as well.

 

On my second set of shinkos now and they do stick well, bike feels good in the corners and in the wet, makes a huge difference in confidence knowing the tires are not going to let you down, hated the dunlops and the way the bike rode with them on.

 

Thanks guys. Sounds like both tires are great. Just wondering if anybody out there's run both 🍻

 

I'm getting tires soon and thinking pirelli night dragons. I've heard they're good in the twisties.
