I've run Shinko on scooters and motorcycles and liked 'em fine. Presently have Shinko 586 rear and 567 front on a Piaggio BV250.

Ran the original tires for 6yrs just replaced them with some Federal Evoluzion ST-1 225/50ZR/17 high performance tires summer only all Im going to say is money well spent ????
Pros: money well spent
Just the loudest tires on planet earth. Boy do they grip through!

They seem to grip decent once warmed up, but they are a bit on the loud side.
Pros: grip decent
Cons: a bit loud
Federal tires to add sa mga choices
Federals will be really noisy after a few thousand miles. Almost like your wheel bearings don’t exist anymore. Had rs-rr and 615k+. 615k+ is better. Both are way off pace but great budget tires. 615k+ is actually a pretty good tire for hpde.
Pros: great budget tires
Cons: really noisy
As a person who sells motorcycle parts for a living and currently has Shinkos on his bike for cost effective reasons. I suggest to NEVER get Shikos.
Pros: cost effective
Cons: never get Shikos
In size 225/40 (r18), their thread width is comparable to other makers ~205. Well, does it matter? Yes, in the sense that when you install them onto an 8.5 wide rim, you'll notice that you're stretching the fit, and the sweating starts. Installing a tire alone with a basic tire machine is no longer possible.
Cons: stretching the fit
