New odd name tire for me
I got a 2004 gixxer 600 and just replace that stock back tire,i think it was a dunlap,only got 5500 miles outta it,damn i wish i didnt do all thoses burn outs.
I just put a SHINKO on there.It was 105$.They any good?Do i have to do a burnout to break it in?, or just put like 100 miles on it?What do yall mean as in heating up the tires...?Still got my stock dunlap up front with a plug in it.

i have no idea what your trying to say, burn out to break in?? you probably should have asked for tire advice before you bought the tire, then i would have told you its no good to mismatch tire brands, and i would have told you to save your money and get fresh pilot powers, not a crappy dunlop front, with a no name rear. good luck with the tires, let me know if they are any good.

well they are cheap and he sounds like he's into doing burnouts, so....
maybe its good for him..lol
anyways, i do think I've seen one of these tires on (the50shows) vince's bike. if so then no it looks like a good drag racing profile at best....very flat.

Man, I just put $50 Dunlops on my Harley and my cheap ass wouldn't even think about putting a Shinko on my bike. I mean, Dunlops are one thing if you're just looking to cruise around, but Shinko? That's like buying discount surgical supplies. Some things you just got with a brand you've at least heard of, and motorcycle tires are one of those things. It ain't like sticking no name tires on a car where the worst that can happen is you have a blow out and you're late for work. Blow out a bike and you're gonna take a ride on the pain train, epsecially if you're a doing burnouts on a gixxer kinda guy.

I run shinko ultra-soft 003's on my Busa.
They are a great drag racing tire that is DOT approved.
Tires are worth doing your homework on... a few bucks up front may save you a lot more later.
