I like the control factor if the rear lock up than the fronts. Even though the front do most of the work when stopping.'

I use the rear for the most part, in non emergancy situations.

I put the fronts tire on and instance grip, no slippage or unsettleing corning.

I give thumbs up on Shinko's tires all around.

 

yep, and the 180-003's are awesome for the strip too.. i am sticking to shinkos for a long time!

 

I am a fan of Shinko's tires also, hear they use the same rubber compound as Pilot Power.
For the price and grip Shinko's tire are my friend.

 

hell ya shinko is the way to go, i just bought them last year cause they were cheap and money was tight , they totally suprised me, grip is excellent and i can stop much faster than my friend who is runnincontinentals(alsoveryinexpensive)for some reason his bike is always trying to lift the rear and its always hoppin and sliding, im also 65 lbs heavier. the continentals also have the edge come up alot faster in a turn.the only thing is that they dont last very long my rear is bald after 4000 miles fronts fine showing minimal wear, i guess its all the high speed highway ridin, cause i only did one small burnoutwith them...For the price couldnt ask for better!!
