Great tires for the price.

You generally 'get what you pay for'. In this case, you actually get quite a bit more. The ride quality and handling of these tires are rather good, which belies the inexpensive price. Tread life is only about average, and depends heavily on how hard you ride. The handling is very predictable as the tire wears, never 'going away'.<br /><br />The only difficulty was mounting the tires. Had to warm them slightly to make them more pliable to seat the bead. Once mounted, balance was decent. One tire needed no weights, the other required no more than expected.

Shinko 712's - Great tires

This is the 3rd set of Shinko tires I have purchased and they all have been great. This set went on a 1979 Honda CX500. Another set went on my 1981 Harley Sportster and the 3rd set (Shinko 777's) went on a 2010 Harley Sportster. Shinko makes great quality tires and they mount and balance easily. The traction is great on the 712's and they ride perfect. In all cases Shinko tires have been better than the stock OEM tires they replaced (much better than stock HD Dunflops). For the price these tires cannot be beat.

New Tires

Ordered the Shinko 712 Front and rear tire to match the sizes that came off my bike. Only thing that i didn't expect was to have to take off my front fender for the wheel to fit with the shinko tire. I already contemplated taking off the fender to complete the look i was going for. Now that it had to come off because of rubbing on the brand new tire, I couldn't be happier with how it looks. Already have an aftermarket fender in mind if needed.
