Anyone used any Shinko, Kenda, or Heindenua tires?

Yes, as a tire swing only! <bana>

Actually, I hear the Shinko Ravens are quite good!

Some of the NC Knobbies are running the Shinko 705’s on a Tenere and on VStrom 650’s and they seem to love them.

My Vstrom 1000 has Shinzo 705’s on it. They are brand new almost so I didn’t feel like ripping them off. I’m a intermediate to aggressive-ish street only rider. I’ve got about 100 miles on them mostly around town and highway and have no immediate complaints. We will see how they hang in the mountains the first of May.

While in the shop getting tires mounted, I also had a recall done concerning ECU for motor surging at low speed. Replaced ECU and it made a real improvement.
