Title: Shinko 009's

Hit up my mate at the tire shop today and fitted Shinko Raven 009's front and rear.

Anyone used these before and what are your thoughts.

I've run through a few sets of those on the YZF600 rims, and really like them.

Be sure and keep the pressures up, especially in the front, or you'll get an odd wear pattern.

Other than that, I  like every bit as well as the Avons I replaced.
