Hey I am in the market for a new front tire. I am looking at the Shinko 005 or 003 anyone have any comments and or reviews? Let me know what you think of them.

 

I haven't heard anything about those tires... so I can't give you a review.

What are you looking for in a tire? High miles? Decent life with some corner carving? Street/track? Track only? All weather?

So far I've had great luck with my Metzler Sportec M3's. They seem to warm up fairly quickly, the mileage on them has been fairly good (minimal squaring off... and I don't have corners to carve around here.), and I ride them in all types of weather (Rain, snow, dry). I've only had them slip on non-sand once... and they were cold (less than 5 minutes of bumper to bumper traffic) and I got into the throttle fairly heavy in a corner... but they still stayed composed and I just rode it out. I have no track experience on them... yet.

 

Well I am kinda just wondering what kinda life the shinkos have.
