I've been running a set of shinko 009's (ravens) on the FZ1 and really got no complaints on the tires.I've run them hard on curves,hard on curves in the rain,ride 2up A LOT and the tires are great as far as I'm concerned.They appear to be longer mileage tires from what I observe so far.So,I just ordered a rear for the ST.I have some other tires for both bikes(name tires)of various brands but I just want to see how the raven acts on my ST.Some riders bad mouth the shinko's but I've read more positive reports than negative,so I'm gunna see if they're a good heavy load tire.
