The front one should be worn out early this season, so I'll change it to black as well.......ya never know, though, I may change back to WWW in the future.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #347780 floorboardward (User) 99 roadstar Fresh Boarder Posts: 61 Re:What is up with the white walls? 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I'm running the 777 shinkos also..they seem ok so far we'll see how long they last. they have never slipped and at $150 they dont kill the purse......   Logged     have a stellar day, ride your Roadstar!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #347818 lemual (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 112 Re:What is up with the white walls? 2 Years, 2 Months ago   It just looks better.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/02/20 21:57 By lemual.

I will have to try that trick on the thinner though, I hate cleaning the dang things.   Logged     Too Many Mods...Not Enough Money   The administrator has disabled public write access. #347864 nightstar57 (User) ride it like ya paid for it .. Platinum Boarder Posts: 3336 Re:What is up with the white walls? 2 Years, 2 Months ago   i just bough the dunlop e-2 with white lettering.. i think it will offset the chrome/black thing i have going on and i always loved white letters on my tires..if they wear out fast or just plain suck than i wont buy them anymore..i will be on them come spring time.. i also got a cruise-max to match the rear wheel on the 05..www.. pita to clean..looks nice though.. now i just need the wheels..   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #347884 VanCam (User) TGFMCs Fresh Boarder Posts: 65 Re:What is up with the white walls? 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I'd say WWW tires look good on some bikes not so good on others. I used to have to clean my parents white side walls tires on every car they owned when I was a kid, Kinda turned me against them for life about 'em. Tell me more about these "Shinko" tires. Where is a good place to buy 'em? Oh yes, the "well rounded" photo gives a whole meaning to the "Iron Butt" rides.............. ~VanCam   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/02/21 09:19 By VanCam.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #347901 floorboardward (User) 99 roadstar Fresh Boarder Posts: 61 Re:What is up with the white walls? 2 Years, 2 Months ago   got myan at the super pooper store............buck an a half +- at my door.......sure hope I get more than 2000..thought I read shinko was a spinoff of ?(some well known japeneeze brand) that had a plant fire and shinko bought the M. cycle molds....but I could just be trippin................s..........   Logged     have a stellar day, ride your Roadstar!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #348012 Booster (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1515 Re:What is up with the white walls? 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Shinko use to be Yokohama MC tire division, the Shinko back turned into a Stinko but the front is fine, they do feel good when new though, sticky. I do ride fairly aggressive but that mileage sucked, I got around 7000 with the Metz ME880 back, now I have a Dunlop Cruse Max on the back and its got over 2000 on it still looks new. I bought all my tires from the Motorcycle Superstore and mounted.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
