The not so good Japanese ones too, the USA ones you can buy over the counter are meant to be better.
Both are pretty good, and neither last very long!!! :)

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?

They are certainly a good, sticky, stable tyre that until they were old and cold I couldn't get to spin up on the 10...having said that, if you are having problems like that it may be more to do with throttle control than tyres :?

A lot of the guys at ozZX12R were using them and the general concencus were they were OK.
I suppose anything thats soft is good, and these appear cheap enuf to run em soft.
ANd you would reckon a 12 would push the front and back a bit more than most.

Like I said at the time but "Shinkos" Geez I wouldnt be game to push em just cause of the name.... better than Kenda I suppose :wink:
Just because you CAN ride, doesn't mean you SHOULD

Some times yes it is probably due to throtle controll, but when i go thru/witha corner holding the throtle steady, the bike comes to a point when it feels like it al of a sudden drops and i feel like im about to drop the bike.

I also think acornering school is needed for me
