good writeup about Shinko
Its the right size tire for the rear to front swap, reverse rotation as I have read on here.

I'm on my second Shinko front tire. I run a Falken CT on the back and Shinko 230 touring front tire. I got just over 10K out of the first Shinko and I am at about 6000 on this one with no problems to report. I also have 18000 on my rear tire and it is just now starting to show the slightest bit of wear.

Can you tell me what Shinko front tire you are running please? I have around 6k on my E3, and figure I only have around 2k left on it... Time to start shopping/planning. Thanks, D.

That is the brand of tire, (made for rear) on the front of my Chevy Trike in a 16", tubeless, running a tube, due to porous Mag wheel. Got like 20 or 25K on it and it just started to cup, ran 40+#'s in it religiously. I'll probably order another one later this riding season.
