yeah i might go with a shinko but there is no way the 130 would fit my bike the 120 is pushing it.

I found this on Youtube about Shinko tires.
Their ad no doubt but, nice to know that they have been in two-wheeled tire business for so long and
according to them, the largest seller of motorcycle tires in the U.S.
They probably would like to keep it that way and sell good quality tires.

Not sure if this thread is dead or not but if anyone was looking for a smaller size rear tire for their 450T then IRC sells a 110-90-17.

I just got the set of durotours rs 310's from my local shop for somewhere around 100 a piece and they look really really good.

Haven't gotten them on the bike yet but it was the only set of tires i could find that were this specific size which is nice because now i wont have to worry about the edges of the tire being 12mm from my swing arm haha

Duro's appear to be very solid tires, considering how cheap they cost.
(same with shinkos)
I had a set on my 650, they were old, hardened, and still never flaked off that bad, even with all the abuse. I eventually had to cut them off with a sawzall, and the steel-bead and inner rubber was much stronger than I thought it would be...
They weren't as thick as the Metzerlers I cut open, but they were still impressive, considering they cost what, $40 for the cheap sports?

Small hijack

So is there a motorcycle tire website similar to tirerack.com? Their reviews, both professional and user really make shopping for good tires much easier.
