Title: Shinko SE890 front Post by: HBFL on September 23, 2019, 02:48:01 PM Anyone had a Shinko on the front? Price and possible mileage are tempting. Any feedback? Thanks!

I have this exact.tire on the front of all three of my Valks. They have tens of thougsands of miles on them now. I have zero complaints with them. I will replace them with the same tire when they finally wear out.https://www.denniskirk.com/shinko/se890-journey-touring-tire.pfp544731.prdf?fs=544731 (https://www.denniskirk.com/shinko/se890-journey-touring-tire.pfp544731.prdf?fs=544731) Title: Re: Shinko SE890 front Post by: Valkorado on September 23, 2019, 03:44:09 PM Happily running one on my Interstate! :cooldude:
Title: Re: Shinko SE890 front Post by: old2soon on September 23, 2019, 04:47:39 PM I've had 2 of em so far and ZERO complaints. I've got a white wall up front now-Shinko-but can't recollect the model # at this time. And it is a bit smaller than what's called for but again ZERO complaints. RIDE SAFE.
Title: Re: Shinko SE890 front Post by: RWhitehouse on September 23, 2019, 06:51:09 PM I'm also quite happy with mine. Huge improvement over the d404 I ran previous. Very sure footed wet or dry and warms up fast. Only have like 5k on it so far but wearing great so far.
It is stock size, but I noticed the speedo seems to be a bit further off than before. Probably slightly smaller circ. Title: Re: Shinko SE890 front Post by: cookiedough on September 28, 2019, 09:31:15 AM shinko on front and rear. however, instead of the SE890 Journey in front, I went even cheaper and got the shinko 230 tourmaster which IMO is just as good of a front tire and cheaper as well. I prefer it over the Avon Cobra front tire it replaced and 50 bucks cheaper as well.
Until shinko proves me wrong, I will continue to buy them since they last just as long as an Avon in my experience and probably as long as most others which for me is 5-6 years use since low mileage rider.

Title: Re: Shinko SE890 front Post by: blackbird239 on October 05, 2019, 04:21:17 PM I have had 3 of the front tires. The first rear one that I purchased was defective. I have only been using Bridgestone Exedra Max on the rear since then. Very happy with the combination.
Title: Re: Shinko SE890 front Post by: HBFL on October 05, 2019, 05:15:15 PM I went with the 230. It’s not on yet but I dig the flat profile and tread depth.
