Well I haven’t. Never heard of them.
It was an option given to me by a Dealer, the alternatives were the usual contenders, but at nearly twice the price.
This will be my third set since the start of my travels and it seems that I have more of a Chicken Channel that a Strip.
Whether this is false economy I shall see, but somebody has to.

I haven’t got to find half a second, and it hasn’t got to last 10 laps. I just hope it can do a decent mileage in a mostly straight line.
I’ll know in a month (or less)

Theres usually two types of budget tyres...

No grip, last forever.

Or

Grip like a premium tyres, but only last half as long.

I hadn't heard of them,so I googled for more info. Google says they are decent for the price,but wear out faster than premium brands.

Never heard of that brand but I've used cheap Chinese tyre's for a good while now and they are absolutely fine. I'd imagine in Aussie straight line's they'll square off, but wouldn't they all.

How much.? ££

Shinkos are the darling of the custom bobbers amongst other types. Been around for some time too. :thumbup:

Think I had one on a CX a long time ago - I may be imagining this.

There was another Barrel in the Shop. I’ll scrape that bottom next time.
