RickB Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 gonna need to get a new rear tire, could go with a BT021 again, but really want to try a Shinko 009 raven... has anyone had any experience with the Shinkos on a bmw? Just put my second set of Shinko Ravens on my 04 1150RT. On the first set, I got 8,628 miles out of the front; the rear had 7,761 AND A NAIL IN IT. They're as good as any tire I've previously run, and for $156 A PAIR INCLUDING DELIVERY, love them. The pair I just put on should perfect for this weekend's RCR in WV... Link to comment
outpost22 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 has anyone had any experience with the Shinkos on a bmw? Not really a fair comparison, but I'm trying a Shinko on the rear of the F650 now. So far (500 miles), performance seems on par with the Avon Distanzia it replaced, at 2.5 times less the cost. Link to comment
RoanokeRider Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'll let you know next week. I am mounting 009 Ravens now for a ride to KY over the weekend. The rear tire mounted fairly easy, still need to mount the front. Tread does seem a little soft. We shall see. Link to comment
ESokoloff Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 On the rear of my 03 RT, I found it to be about the same miles/$ as a RoadSmart. The RoadSmart cost 1/3 more & yielded 1/3 more miles. Link to comment
jfremder Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm halfway through my 1st set of Ravens. I'll be buying another. A slight squirm on rain grooves. Warm up quickly, fine in the wet. I've worn 'em to the edge narry a hickup. Link to comment
