Michelin Power Race 180/55
Alright guys... you better be right about this tire hooking well lol. I just ordered a couple of them from JC motors to try out. I've still got a TON of life left in my shinko, but as soon as it's done I'll be slapping one on. 
my wife is pretty pissed that i'm already buying "a" new tire lol. I wonder what she'll say when two of them show up lol.

it ended up coming out to 123 per tire after shipping with the cheapest option to california. I still can't complain about that. I paid a little more to spencer cycle for my shinko.

Well, looks like I'm not getting the tires. Just got an email saying that they're sold out. Maybe I'll save the money and put it toward an airshifter later on.

Save your money and buy 1 Michelin Power One. The power one is Michelins best tire.

I ride on the street every day so I won't shell out the money for a power one. I'm not unhappy with the shinko by any means. I was just trying to get a better tire for cheaper.

yes, its their best, but right now its bascially buy 2 power races for the price of a power one. the race hooks fine for me, but after they are gone i will get a one.

Not only do they hook really well they are also lighter than shinkos. The crazy part is that the contact patch is about a inch or more less than a shinkos .

The pilot power HOOKS...ask Lil Nick about his SST bike last year. The power one has proved it self to be a better tire...but you can't beat that price. Shinko prices for a Michelin!
