vs
Tires Shinko or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I have since tuned my GTI and installed summer tires, it has only further cemented my decision. Now the car pulls harder but you still have to work with the car to put the power to ground.
Pros: car pulls harder
Cons: work with the car
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I avoided the 805 big blocks because of typically rough and noisy street use. Figured they’d be great offroad. Tried some 705s and they were great street tires but really loose and washy offroad. I’m on the 700s now and I’m really liking them. Closest thing to a 50/50 tire I’ve ever had.
Pros: great street tires
Cons: loose and washy offroad
I put on Shinko Ravens and they are more confidence inspiring than the Michelin Pilot 3s I was using.
Pros: confidence inspiring
Might I suggest some Shinko’s. I got 16k out of the back tire I got for my Goldwing, 12k+ of those were overloaded doing 80-90 across the country and through the Rockies.
Pros: high mileage, impressed
Cons: overloaded
Mileage: 16000 km
Get the shinko 777, they’re great. Stickiest compound tire I run and I have no issues in the rain. Great for wheelies too
Pros: stickiest compound, great wheelies
Cons: none
- Have been running Shinko 777 tires on my FLHRSI which I'm very happy with, but am going with the longer lasting Shinko 999 tires next.
Pros: very happy with
Cons: going with longer lasting
had so much fun today! no videos unfortunately but first in class and almost upset an STH guy, lol the car did great on the 240tw, 41psi. sport mode with esc fully off. lots of grip even though i was overdriving a bit.
Pros: lots of grip
Cons: overdriving a bit
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I know that I went through my first set of rears rather quickly on my VW ID3.
Cons: rears wore quickly
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mine came with 19” Montevideo which have been turned into dedicated winter setup, I upgraded to 20’s. The ride isn’t horrible tbh but it is worse, but you will for ever have that feeling of butthole pucker up lol every time you slightly even see a pothole.
Pros: 20's look better
Cons: ride isn't horrible
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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
