I usually run michelins. I have always likes them. This last time though, I actually bought the shinkos. I must say, they arent bad at all. My reasoning was I wanted to get the most life out of a tire as I could. My commute is pretty much a straight shot 52 miles one way, 6 days a week. They have about 2400 miles on them now and still look brand new. They handle good in the rain, and torrential downpours. They do take a while to warm up, but for 175 a set, I couldnt beat it. Tires are a personal preference, and brand loyalty is a major thing around here lol.
Best bet would be to let people know what your intended uses are. track days, spirited riding through curves, or commuting etc. That will let other riders give you a more informed opinion.

no problem.if your commuting and its more or less straight then you definitely should look at a dual compound tire. They dont stick as well as an all out sport bike tire but they last longer cause the middle is more of a sport touring compound. I have nothing bad to say about the shinkos. Especially for the price

you, if you havent already, will find out that everyone will give you a different opinion on tires. Just find a tire/brand you like and go with it.

I still have them on. The 009. As a matter of fact when I have to replace them, I will buy another set. Just can't beat the bang for the buck. They have sat since I tore my bike down and still have the correct air pressure. Definitely worth checking into if your on a budget.
