with a shinko on the back does it matter whats on the front? seems like its focused on a straight line anyway unless you're into hanging off the side of the shinko. why not put any long lasting sport-touring tire on the front slam filled regarding high air pressure

Avon (choke did I say anything except a PP)......uhm Michelin Road!
Either is cheap and will last a long time. And probably will out-perform the schinko on the back regarding bike handling

PP's are my favorite too but they will wear the quickest. Thats the price we pay to stick.
