i need a cheap rear tire with long distance capabilites, good lasting milage, and decent grip. what do you guys recomend?

 

me...I'm a Diablo guy...I love them...but you cannot beat the price of Shinkos...I am afraid of getting what I pay for, but alot of guys have great things to say about the Shinkos.

 

i was kind os leaning toward the diablo strada's for 140. what can you tell me about the shinko's? or can i get a link?

 

I got Shingkos front and rear, went up to a 190/50/17 on the rear, and so far I love em, the rear hooks great. Although Ive only got about 800 miles (and 2 trips to the dragstrip) on it, it seems to be holding up pretty well. It doesnt take much of a burnout to make it super sticky. [8D]

 

I could be completely wrong, but can you get the stradas in our size?

For some reason it's stuck in my head that I couldn't find one...or I just didn't want them.

 

I've bought two sets of Bridgestone Battlax's. The first set I bought, I gotvery good life out of the set. The 2nd set I had to replace the rear. I replaced it with a Metzler MeZ1 for under a $100.

 

yes the stradas are available in 160/60r17's

 

I would assume your talking about a rear tire. I usually go with the Battalax.Tires are resonably priced, last forever, and are good for all types of riding.

 

Im running continental, road attacks, I think. They are pretty good so far. Before I had battlaxs and they lasted well.

 

I like my Diablo Rosso.
