Shinko 777 Front Tire - 120/90H-17 Question

[Guest]

Could I use a Shinko 777 Front Tire - 120/90H-17 as a rear tire? The size is right, just don't know if you can use it as a back tire.

Thanks!

I wondered that too but I wouldn't advise it. Put a rear tire on the rear. Your dealer's going to think you're a dork.

Why not just get the tire and type that belongs on it A pair of Shinko's can had for the cost of a Bridgestone , or other brand name rear. Shinko 230 had a set delivered to my door a week ago for 128.00.

I bought them from Motorcycle Superstore, they are some of the best tires I've had.

As mentioned before, the Japanese had a tire plant (Yokohama) in Korea, producing similar tires. (Just like buying a Hyundai car, or piano; it had the Japanese tools, machines and training to get the company started).
