What? Since when? These people condemn entire races, genders, religions, creeds, motorcycle brands, gun manufacturers, dog breeds, regions of the country, countries, you name it, based on the actions a a few or even one example all the time. What, do tires get some kind of special "dont judge us based on one example" amnesty or something?

My "shitty" tires should be in tomorrow. If they don't work out, I'm gonna melt them down and make Trip dildos out of them. I'll have on the package, "Recommended without lube to get the full Trip affect."

I bought tires today. After reviewing this thread and doing some shopping, I very seriously considered ordering a set of the 009 or 010 Shinkos. The 010s were about $40 cheaper than a set of Pilot Powers, and the 009s were about $60 cheaper.
I read some great reviews on the 009s as a sport-touring tire, with a heavy emphasis on touring. Everyone said they are very slow to turn-in and really aren't much of a sporting tire, but mileage was great. I decided against them because I ride a 600SS and like being able to lean the thing. That meant it was down to the 010s or the Pilot Powers. The PPs were $40 more expensive. Being as I couldn't find any real reviews on the 010s and I know that I love the PPs, I spent the $40. I should have my Michelins this week. RS, I hope your experience with these tires is a good one and you have a detailed write-up. You may convince me to make the switch next time.

Home from the strip. The zxr1200, zx14, and 08 busa were running the shinko drag rear. Sucker grips.

Well it looks like HF has stopped carrying the tire changer and adapter that people were using to change their moto tires with. This sucks. Gonna have to man handle them on I guess.
