Doug Printz 27 August 31, 2016 1 of 1 member found this review helpful 1 / 1 member Report Share this review I've run through four Shinko rear tires (805) and I'm working on my third front tire (804) and will keep running them. The price is hard to beat - $120 for the rear and $80 for the front. For me, these tires perform about the same as TKC80s on both pavement and dirt. I'm not a canyon carver nor do I ride the gnarliest dirt, but I do put the tires to some serious use. So far, I've always swapped out my rear tires after about 4,000 miles because I had a long ride planned and I don't want to have to put on new tires on the road. I recently had a 3,000 mile ride planned which would really be pushing my rear tire which already had 2,700 miles on it, but I decided to go for it and see what it took to wear it down to the nubbings At the end of the ride, my total mileage on the tire was 5,685 with about 5,000 of those miles on pavement. Remaining tread depth is 2mm, I could ride it for another 500 miles, but at the price, why bother. Link to review Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mounted a rear up to my 1190R a few weeks ago. I was a bit skeptical at first about buying a Shinko, but pulled the trigger when my MotoZ tires were still on backorder. It handles about the same as my old TKC-80's, but seem to last a lot longer! Off-road, they are almost identical in performance to the TKC-80. On road, the TKC-80 might turn in a bit faster, and inspire a bit more confidence....but it's marginal. Air them down off-road (out in Silverton / Ouray doing all the passes this week) and they grip gravel, rock and hard pack very predictably. I ride about 80% off road, and 20% on. Happy so far!
