I use shinko. Its awsome.Ive tried them all shinko is the best. arizona motorsports has the best price ive seen. Like 100 bucks.

 

how does it last compared to the mcr2

how much do you have to heat it......

 

3 times longer. And u can ride it on the rode and its fine.

 

Dont care about the road, but just curious if it will handle some big hp, or long wb

 

I tried the mcr2 before the shinko. It would hook sometimes, sometimes it would'nt. The shinko hooks everytime. I friend of my has a 00 12r with a 40 shot and he runs 5.80's in the 1/8. Another has a 01 gsxr 750 with a 1000 motor on it and runs 6.00's. Both bike r 7 inches over. What kind of wb and hp r u talking about. The 1000 has been some low 1.40's 60'.

 

It would be 70 to 75 inches

 

:shock: Thats pretty long. How did the mcr2 hook for u?

 

Question to Shinko guys: does it seem to you that -- compared to sticky race rubber that's been warmed to temperature -- it would make sense to use it for land-speed racing as well, standing mile, on account of better launch and more grip and less slippage at speed?

Or would that be true compared to a street tire, but probably or maybe not compared hot race rubber?

Thanks!

 

HAVENT WENT THAT LONG YET, JUST THINKING ABOUT DITCHING THE BARS.........

 

I run michelin H2's on my nitrous fueled 230hp zx-12

 

I also run a H2 on my 60" 12 but now they stopped making them. So my next tire will be the soft shinko

 

I can get those at the best price that I have seen. Let me know.

 

Those? Do u mean the H2 or skinko. How much?

 

Any tire!!

 

How much for the shinko?

 

I have the NEW Ultra 3 Shinko, 190/50/17 for $130 plus S/H.
And the Shinko Stealth model 190/50/17 for $115 plus S/H.
Shinko front tires come in the Stealth and not the Ultra 3's. They are $70 plus S/H and they acome in 120/60 and 120/70/17 only.
What do you think
But I can beat any price on any tire (I Hope).

I might be able to go less if I can do a group buy.

 

Tried a Shinko on our 67" 200hp 12R this weekend, and wasn't impressed. It was a cold day but took a VERY long burnout to get it warm. Without the long burnout it just span, even with 7psi in it, on a track where MT tyred bikes were running 8.0s. We did get a 1.48 sixty out of it but won't be using one again.

 

that is what I was looking for, some one with some wb and power to chime in. I think if I lose the bars, I will got back to the mcr

 

Lorcan, was it the shinko stealth or ultra?

 

It was an R003RR, whichever that is....
