Can you post a pix of the rear? Just for piece if mind?

Also I will take a red cover with the old Pegasus and the Firebolt emblem in the center if you would do that..?

Sweet[up]

Either way I am going to get them since they are what I have now and I have nothing bad to say about them.

Probably wont need them till seasons end but getting them now will save me time later and cash.

Here are some bad points. I have an 08 1125R with a 180/55 005 and the tread is nearly gone. After 1000 miles. Great drag racing tires but I would not recommend them for the twisties. Due to its flatter profile, when leaned over it tends to break loose often (yes with good throttle control) cause the tire nearly drops off with no warning on the sides. I cant WAIT to get rid of mine.

Sorry polkie. Bad experience with Shinko 005 here.

Extreme sorry I didn't get this posted last night...

redliner172- please keep your comments off my for sale thread. That was not cool.

No worries I will shoot you the cash this weekend, pretty sure I still have your paypal.

 

[redliner172]

Sorry for interjecting real world experience on them. If they are so awesome and brand new, there would be no sense to switch to Pilots. Xtreme will buy them no matter what I say, if he likes them and already runs them anyway...my opinion doesnt matter. You get what you pay for with tires and most prefer tires that last a little longer. Sorry for muckin up your thread.

I have run many different brands of tires and am lucky to have them last a season. How long they last doesn't really bother me as much as price and performance, but that isn't saying I want to buy tires every weekend either.

In my experience these tires performed as just as well as my Dunlop, Pirelli, and Michelin. But are still new in the street game so costs are much less. Shinko has been around for a lot longer than most know as they are primarily used for drag racing. In that this model tire would not be my choice for drag racing since they are a street tire and I would only only assume doing burnouts would shorten the length of the tire as any would if you drag race with them.

Wow! "Why can't we be friends? Why can we be friends?" I'm sure redliner not trying to ruin your sale man, it's just that that tired cause him to high side. He's just trying to warn fellow riders about them. So please, let's be civilized. We're all bros here.
