I love them, the grip is super, rubber is sticky, give good lean angles without feeling unsettle. As with any tire when cold is unsettling, but after about 5 miles on riding it comes up the gripping temp good.

Braking with these tire I love them, a firm solid stop, no slidding. As with water, still good traction.

I give two thumbs up for them, I got the Shinko 005

 

Thanks for the update, will keep them in mind for when I'm up for some new ones. Get back to us again in a while, let us know how the wear rate is going.

 

ya id be interested in the wear also.

 

In other news...

Talked to a guy today who had 100 miles on his Shinkos (rode a CBR1000). Bought Pilot Powers today; he hated the Shinkos so much. He's keeping them to burn out with.

 

matter of opinion im sure. i talked to a person who compared them to bridgestones so that prettymuch turned meoff to them
