Default Shinko 777 White Walls (Blems?)

Time to replace my old tires, so I ordered my second set of Shinko 777's photos below. I'm guessing tire manufacturers do not sell discounted blemished tires anymore and just put them in their regular inventory. Anyone else seeing this on their Shinko White Walls?





























First set of Shinko 777's

I noticed Avon is now making a white wall Cobra. I didn't look at sizing but they may be an alternative to the Shinkos.

White walls look nice, but that's a lot of work..

Shinkos have a rep for being cheap and sticky

Now you have the added bonus of streamlined quality control as well.

If that’s what they look like on the outside, I wonder how well they were built. No Thanks!

A lot of stunters swear to shinkos and what Ive heard, they only have good to say about them. If theyre ridden that hard on shinkos, thats a quality control in my eyes.

They swear by them because the probably buy several at the time and they are El Cheapo....I have rarely seen much good said about them except for price...I wouldn’t put one on my bike unless it’s all I had and was stuck somewhere on a ride.

Well, theyre not made for milage. Sticky compound will wear out fast. If the stunters ride them that hard in a short amount of time without "breaking" and what not, whats the problem? It really depends on what kind of a rider you are, long distance rider or one that like sticky tires for the curves. I like them and have no problems on recommending them. Ive tried two kinds of dunlops on my hd, and theyre **** as f***. Pirelli night dragon is also a good alternative, but im not sure if they have white walls.
