If you're cash strapped like me you can't beat this price to get back on the road.

Raven rear got me 6k miles and is cheaper than Verge.
Verge rear got me 4300 miles.
Verge front went 9400 miles. My highest front tire mileage. That's comparing to B'stone 020, and Dunlop RS.

Got my Shinko's from Bike Bandit.com. Ordered on Monday, showed up Tuesday. They were drop shipped from a store in northern Ill. Total....$185.000 for SR733 frt/SR734 rear.

Strange thing is, one tire came be FedEx, and the other came by UPS. Same day, just hours apart.

I'll put them on after the MLR, to get ready for FerrySTOC. Just now getting down to wear bars on rear. Front still has miles left, but don't want to mix em up. I guess I'll put them in the barn with all the rest of the junk.

I have been running Shinko's since my last Roadsmart self- destructed one full tank of gas from the house.

I changed out my front Shinko last week with a new one, and was surprised to find that I got over over 15,000 miles of service from that cheap tire.

(much more mileage than from the Dunlaps)

Are we just talking about a cheap tire?
How are they on the road?
I'm hard on tires. I wear them out faster than most on this site. I've never had a bad handling tire. All have been good to peg dragging for me.

I only wish the 011 Verge rear got better mileage but I have no problem running a Raven instead.
