Ive had donuts that tasted like that. Does that count for something?... and I thought they were made the same way Donuts were..
I have thought that after I see some of the repairs they have done to my old carcass!Do you ever watch things like this and wonder "who dreams this stuff up"?
The tread design in the tire video is that of the SR777 cruiser tire. I'd like to see a video of how a modern dual compound tire is made.....so then the rubber stuff is like wrapped on a thing and then a big thing comes down and there's steam and stuff and then there's - like - a tire, man!
Thanks for that video. I love "how it's made" videos!
I actually have 2 bikes with Shinko tires and I think those were mine in that stack you saw!
I wonder why as long as the tire's weight rating matches that found on the DOT tire placard on the bike. Weight ratings are almost perfectly correlated to tire size - if the tire size is the right size the rating should be the same regardless of brand.One of my local shops will not mount shinko tires on heavier touring bikes, but they did put them on my Suzuki Savage.
24 years ago Shinko purchased some equipment and tire molds from Yokohama who was exiting the motorcycle tire mfg business.Seems like their personal bias is entering the picture due to some preconceived notion... do they know Shinko's parent company is Yokohama?
I didn't realize that the color stripes and white text were printed before, and survived through molding.
