Will the Shinko tires fit with a stock swingarm or will they hit it since they are taller. Also how well do they hold up on street riding, I like the look of the Shinkos but am going to need a tire that will hold up pretty well to street. Thanks.

Their is just enough space for the shinko to fit.

with the axle adjusted all the way back.

with the aggressive tread pattern and soft rubber The tire will not be a good choice for the road.

We have a motard track thats 70%dirt & 30% concrete

I thrashed my shinko in 3 weekends of riding

Hope this helps.

I have yet found a good tire for both.

Hmmm, doesnt sound like the Shinko is for me then. What tire will hold up best for street, im not realy worried about perfect traction in the dirt, I can deal with it, I just dont want to have to replace tires all the time cause I have to ride the road alot to get where Im going.

ya the pic is just a pic thats not the size i ordered they make a bunch of sizes

I think shinkos suck for the street because they have those tall nobbs on the outer edge and they want to roll over when leaning it in on the faster turns

as far as being hard tires they seem softer than most to me

Dont want a motard tire, just a good knobby that will hold up on street, as I ride round my neighborhood alot. Ive hear the Michelins are pretty tough.
