My strips are nearly gone. They'll go away and then I'll put another 1k miles on and they'll show up again. There aren't enough opportunities to stay on the side of the tires here on the streets to get them chewed up at all.

No strips here, at least none on the rear My front tire has 1/4" strips I haven't been able to scuff off; yet.

have some strip left front and back. i have the shinko podiums and before everyone starts bashing i think if you run even close to street legal as in speed limit you wont ever over exeed the limit of the tire it is just a headgame obviously on the track is different but i am talking about the street

to get only 800 miles out of a rear tire i'd bet it was mounted backwards
nothin chews up a tire faster than that

cept maybe a few nasty burnouts

For the rest of you....that's good humor right there! Once you get off the breading, and down to the meat like this...you'll understand!
damn i wish my chicken strips wer like that. i cant get rid of mine. im a new rider and i take turns i used to take at thirty at fifty now or faster and they still wont go away. i can tell when i get to them in a turn cuz the tire feels like its slippery

lets get back to the subject. i like chicken strips if there isnt too much breading, and if there is marinara sauce on them too

I have PP's on my bike. I live in the hills and have twisties all around. I ride reasonably hard, my chicken strips are gone but my back tire is starting to flat spot in the center. I do ride straightline highway to work and back........ I do love the grip on these tires tho.... Not sure if I should try something else next time or not.....

my bike is slammed, so low the mid pipe drags on the right and the peg on the left. mine will never see a track, maybe, maybe a dragstrip, my ride is 80 miles round trip and my shinko 005 radial has almost 4k miles and has over half tread left on it, for a 100 bucks on a comuter the shinko is like a sore peter you can not beat it! the front is a michelin piolit2 i think. has over 2k miles and looks brand new so i guess it depends on how/where you ride. the bike had dunlops on it when i got it almost brand new ones and after 4500 miles they were dangerous to ride. in 10 months ive done roughly 9k miles, more then some in a life time no way iam spending 200-300 bucks per tire to ride to/from work.

o and on the cover of a recent issue of super street bikes theres a tricked out Busa wearing the 005 shinko radials and the caption said something to the effect of for the traction and mileage the 005 radial is a great tire, on a 190hp+ bike no less.
