Need new tyres for my S4 in UK I use Dunlop , Q2 on 750ss roadsmarts on M750 but in thailand all major tyre makes pirelli,Dunlop ,Michelin ,Bridgstone, etc are $600+ a pair but maxxis and shinko can be had for $250 a pair , my mate has shinko R009 on his hyabusa and seems happy and maxxis get positive reveiws in UK

whats your opinion , my old tyre are pirelli diablo rosso corse 3s , they have lasted well front 12,000 miles rear 6,000 but rear grip has been s poor and turn in poor I wont use them again

would really like dunlops but the price here is crippling

i have used a shinko on the rear of my VFR400 and was happy with grip and life

but i am no tyre expert or race level rider and didnt use a front

from what i was told last which was a while back they were an old yokahama tyre ??

if you want name brand without the price then look at

i dont care if you have been a mechanic for 10 years doing something for a long time does not make you good at it, take my gf for an example shes been walking for 28 years and still manages to fall over all the time.

If you are getting that kind of life out of corse 3s, I can only assume you will be pleased with Shinkos.  I've run 009s and been pleased, but I've also been pleased with other bargain tires.

I used a maxx is on my old m900 and hated it, hard as hell and slipped everywhere
