there seem to be lots of positive reviews on these as being an offshoot of yokohama...just wondering if anyone is using these on an e glide and do you know the load ratings ?

 

You can find a few details on their website, but they don't give load ratings for many of their tyres.

Frankly there are high grade brands out there I would choose first. They get mentioned often enough on HDF.

 

Used them on my Kawasaki 1600 Mean Streak. Decent wear and can't say anything bad about traction. They were a great deal for $80 !!!

 

No F'N way.

 

Where are they made? Hopefully in a country that can at least make a kids toy without using lead paint! I'll stick w/Dunlops.

 

Got a pair on my RK right now.
Good price, but not so good wear, I think.
Put them on less than 4 months ago, and the rear is looking a little thin.
Excellent traction, rain or shine.
I think I'll go with the Dunlops next time, though.

 

Mu buddy replaced his front with a shinko. Not that great, some kind of defect in the sidewall causing a shimmy that cant be cured by re balancing. Beg, steal or borrow the $ for a well known name brand.

 

I have used Shinko tires for years on Sport & Sport Touring bikes. In my experience, traction is good and they last as well as anything else for my kind of riding. And you can't beat the price.

I'm about to purchase a set of the "Shinko Tour Master" tires for my RK.

 

had a set on my ninja zx 9r ..... worked good.... in fact they are still on there.... did not ride very aggressively.... but did hit high speeds and the twisties.... i would buy a set again... i may for my RG if i need too.. but I want the E3's.. i think..

 

Been running 'em for nearly 10-15 years on my Ironhead with zero compaints....I have an indy buddy that sells a pile of them to customers looking to save a few bucks. Everybody seems to like them good enough.
