I DIDN'T BELEIVE ANY OF THE BULL ABOUT THE SHINKO BUT I NEEDED A NEW TIRE THE CONTIFORCE I HAD LASTED A LONG TIME (7500) MILES BUT WOULD NOT HOOK UP UNLESS I RAN 15 PSI OR LOWER AND I'M NOT COMFORTABLE LIKE THAT. WHEN I WENT TO NOTH TEXAS HONDA SUZUKI TO GET A NEW TIRE (DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO GET) I SAW THAT THEY HAD A SHINKO 180 FOR 115, THAT'S ABOUT 45 DOLLARS CHEAPER THAN ALL THE OTHERS AND THE GUY BEHIND THE COUNTER TOLD ME IT WOULD FLATTEN OUT MORE THAN THE 190, I TRIED IT SINCE I DON'T RIDE TWISTIE JUST RACE AND A ROAD TRIP NOW AND THEN. THIS THING IS AWESOME I RUN 22 PSI AT THE STRIP AND 32 ON THE HIGHWAY IT HAS LOWERED MY 60 FT TIMES BY 4 TENTHS AND THATS ALL I DID TO IT, I WEIGH 260 SO IT'S HARD FOR ME TO GET OUT OF THE HOLE BUT I'M STARTING TO BEAT SOME OF THE MIDGETS THAT SMOKE ME ALL THE TIME THIS TIRE AND THE SWINGARM EXTENSIONS HAS MADE A HELL OF A DIFFERENCE.MY WIFE HATED ME RACING BECAUSE OF ALL THE TROUBLE I WAS HAVING EITHER SPINNING OR PULLING THE FRONT TIRE AFTER I HAD GOT GOING. NOW I CAN JUST HAMMER ON IT.
