GO MICHILIN STARCROSS OR GO BRIDESTONE(THE NEW BIG KNOBBIES)
I HATE SHINKO.....BUT THEY WORK PRETTY GOOD. THE STARCROSS LAST LONG AS DO THE SHINKO.
DONT GET THE DUNLOPS...THEY WEAR OUT AFTER LIKE TWO RIDES

I threw my shinko in the trash after the last ride, all that extra weight with no traction .... I had to run like 5 lbs of air pressure to get it to bite.. My old Kenda Millville was way better ... I have a Bridgestone M40 now , Michelin Starcross in the front .

Couldnt you get these tires at any local dealer? I mean yea you save money buying on the internet but then you still have to pay shipping so it might just easer to get them from a local dealer. Just my 2 cents.

Starcross last for ever or at least ive had really good luck with them the Dunlop is a waste of money. Literally after 2 rides its like bald and thats when it achually starts lasting cuz its all smoothed over and nothing to wear down. So if u like flat tracking go with the Dunlop cuz it will be a flat track tire in no time. The kenda i have on the rear right now is holding up pretty well and definitly hooks up good.

your Shinko wasn't getting you any traction? 8O IMO They are the best tires. If you ride on the road the milvilles will be out and the Dunlops ARE the worst for sure, because Dunlop uses such a soft rubber compound.

Whats the best tire for street and dirt riding. I ride street about half the time and dirt the other half. I dont want a dirt tire that is going to get eaten alive on the street, but a street tire probably wont hold traction for crap on the dirt/grass, but I want something wider then stock. Any suggestions?
