Great tires. They used to be Yokohama, which was a great brand. They're not cheap. They're inexpensive. They also last longer than any of the more expensive brands.
This is my 2nd one, I have 9000 miles on my first one still got about another 1000 miles left on it before I have to change it, on my 1997 Harley Davidson Electra Glide, the miles for the price is great.
Great!<br />Got 7-8k miles and still going.<br />Decent handling and traction!!
good tire for the price--but don't last on ultra classic
Shinko 250 is a good tire.
Put the Shinko 250 on the rear of my Road King and got 7000 miles on it. Not bad for a cheaper price.<br />It is soft compared to the Dunlop 402 I am used to on my RK and felt good on the road and no complaints with this tire.<br />I change my own tires and is a lot easier to mount and dismount than the 402.<br />I also pull a trailer on all rides.<br /><br />I will buy again good tire for the money.<br />Harry
