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!!!

would they be any good for my 98 zx6r?? i'm looking around for a new set. i think a new set would boost my confidence as the rear end likes to drop and kick out alot atm.

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

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
