    Shinko slicks

    Anyone ever try them? Would you if they were available? The prices are certainly attractive.

    You can't put a price on track-side support & product knowledge.... BoMo Pirelli for this guy.

    No.

    You should not put a price on safety when on the racing surface.

    Stay with what is proven, use your track side vendors, there are plenty of choices available at the infield.

    Re: Shinko slicks

    A friend of mine was using shinko race tires two years ago. He had a great contact for them and was getting them for a great deal. In his own words, they were "the worst race tires he ever rode on". He used 3 sets, hoping that each time they'd be better than the last.

    Shinko make shitty tires.

    He should have held out for a contract from Tomahawk.
