I had shinko on my old F4i its good if you live in FL like me. Cause the tire is soft worms up fast and hugs the corners but it wears out fast thought.

I'm not putting cheap tires on my bike, it's not an economy vehicle. It's a badass, ***** out machine that deserves the best tires out there...and that's what it gets.

I like the way you think bro! lol

My roommate has shinkos on is 2003 gsxr 600. They have a deep tread pattern and hold up well, but they're also extremely hard. If we ride when its in the 50-60s he has to take it easy for a while until his tires warm so they dont slip.

not to jack the thread but since you guys are talking bout tires my 2002 f4i has the stock rear bridgestone tire on it, the front is brand new,the back is looking thin as hell in the middle almost bald i got 6k miles on her now.I just had a few questions i wanted to ask before i bought a new rear tire. First off isdoes it hurt to mix and match the front and rear tires? i was thinking bout the bt-16 i think its the replacment for the rear since they no longer make what came on my bike. do you guys think this is a good tire for a novice rider? im not doing anything fast on my bike i just criuse along most of the time bout 55-65 mph. everyonce in a while i may get a stright and hit over 100. I just need a good tire for touring around that would be good also if i ever get caught out in the rain.

thanks very much in advance

I personally dont mismatch .Others have ,but i dont.

As far as the bt-016, its a great tire.Hard middle with soft sides..I run them on my f4i.No complaints so far.
