Common questions
Is this a front or rear tire?

Does this tire fit tube or tubeless wheels?
This is a tube-type (TT) tire, meaning it requires an inner tube for proper inflation and sealing. Please verify that your Harley-Davidson or Indian Motorcycle's wheel is compatible with tube-type tires before ordering.

This tire is sized MH90-21. To confirm fitment for your V-twin, please check your motorcycle's owner's manual or the sidewall of your existing tire. Our Shop by Bike tool can also assist you in verifying compatibility.

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.

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

NO NO NO Total garbage
BELOW ZERO.... One star is too good. <br />I'm sitting here after trying to mount this tire for over an hour. 100 psi won't seat the bead. Took iit off and cleaned the rim meticulously. Used lots of rubber lube and got pops at 45 psi but it still did not go fully on he rim at 100 psi. <br />It wobbles on the balancer calling for 2.5 ounces on one side and 1.75 on the other. <br />I'm prepping my bike for Laconia tomorrow which ain't happening. <br /><br />Shinko... never again.<br /><br />Good luck fellas.
