First set of Tires ever
By @VinnyxMac

Comments about Shinko 006 Podium Motorcycle Tire:
Last year was my first year riding. I have an 2002 R6. I started riding in 2010 from august to december. I have ridden in the rain several times and didn't have any problems. I rode my bike in 20-40 degree temperature alot and the tires never slipped. I got 3500 miles out of these tires. Now I was a beginner on my bike last year so I didn't push the tires that much. That being said for the price and being on a college budget they served me well,but from experienced riders I have talked to they say you should get 5000 miles out of your tires. It's 2011 and i'm now a fairly well rounded biker. This year i'm going to buy a set of perillies. Overall these tires are good for the price and i'm still alive so I can't complain. Would recommend to someone who is on a cheap bike budget. Also I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars BECAUSE of the price. Ride Safe Peace

Worth the money!
By amtnbiker

These are every bit as good as the Dunlops I normally buy...only less than half the price. I ride a ZX-9R pretty aggressively on mountain roads to work almost every day from Spring to Fall (45 miles each way). Corner grip is great. They're smooth on the highway too. I don't ride in the rain so i don't know about that. They only last one season but so did the Dunlops.
Great looking tire!

A great looking set of tires with a sic tread design. The price I paid for a set, looking tread design and the reviews concerning these tires were my determinging factor for purchasing them[...]Receiving and installing the pair of tires only a very short time ago - I can't comment as to their durability and/or their break-in characteristics.
Low cost above average performance

I ride pretty aggressively and the back tire has stuck during aggressive down-shifting and while throttling out of a curve. I used to run Michelin Pilot Power and I would give these two tires equal rating.
