Shinko 011 Verge Rear Tire (160/60ZR17)

I bought a Shinko 011 for the front and back of my VMAX. The back tire is great, the front one was junk. Never could get it to balance. From about 45 mph and up this thing was bouncing all over the place, dangerous. Put a Dunlop Battlax back on the front and life is good...

09 vmax...replaced the worn-out front Metzeler 888 looking for better grip since I ride a little aggressive. Right away I noticed a side-to-side wobble with the Shinko. Broke down the tire, spun it, rebalanced it, same thing. Take your hands off the bars at high speeds and it gets scary.UPDATE...the seller Chapparrell Motorsports did a great job contacting the manufacturer and secured me a replacement tire. I had to get a different tire in the interim, another Metzeler 888, so in about 6 months I'll do another update when the new Shinko is installed. I'll keep my fingers crossed since I do like the grip of the Shinko.10/21/2021...installed the replacement tire today. All went well. Tire didn't need any weight to balance and was pretty smooth at 100+mph. I ordered another Shinko as I plan on running these tires from now on.

Great tire! Lasts a long time and has great traction.

Was hesitant and sceptical about buying these tires.I never heard of them and wasn't sure if wanted to try them on my new motorcycle that cost me 20K .I am extremely happy that I did.I have a 2015 Yamaha V-MAX and i haven't been able to find a tire that doesn't break traction at every twist of the wrist even the smallest amount would break loose even while going 50 mph.I had tires mounted and all I can say is WOW from the very 1st mile Huge difference in traction and ability to take turns.Not that I do all of the time but was able to knee dragging in turns.I will definitely keep buying these tires in til I find something that works better. I think the only downside side might be how many miles they last.it is to soon for me to know about that but I would imagine that they will wear out faster then other tires. But they are cheap to replace.

Replaced a worn out Road Pilot 4 on a Honda ST1300A with this tire. Night and day difference! This tire, after a short run-in is smooth and pretty neutral. At first it wanted to really dive into turns but has turned into an nice, stable front that doesn't seem to notice the pavement grooves and stripe paint when you cut across them at small angles. The RP4 was very twitchy over the same stuff. It was shot, with a pretty square cross-section, so some of that is on the wear.The Trans-Euro is a heavy bike so we'll see how fast this wears. For the price, if I get 6k miles out of it I'll be happy.

So far I've had these tires close to 8 months and put on over 2k miles and still feel good. This is my first tire purchase from the originals on my Honda Fury and they feel just as good and they costed me less.

I've not had a chance to try it on the road to see how grip and mileage is, but I bought it based up on the glowing reviews from hundred of other users. I ride a sportbike and think I'm a fast canyon rider. However I'd rather have a sticky front tire and a long last rear tire, thus my reason for choosing this tire.I can speak about the service of Amazon/seller on this tire however. It was shipped very quickly (as usual), there were no issues and it was the best price on the net. Put that together with their no hassle and excellent customer service and it can't be beat. I'd rather purchase from here than fleabay.

I have used Shinko tires on several bikes. 09 vmax,2012 vfr1200,2015 zx14r,and now a 2018 vmax. They are great. Wear good and stick to the road good to.
