Who told you full bore was made in china?
No one has to tell me, I saw a rack full of those at Berts parts dept. "Full bore USA" with a sticker on it that said "distributed by Tucker rocky" and side wall of the 190 50 17 said made in china near the dot stamping.

nah they aren't. All shinko tires are made in Korea. Shinko rubber is still much softer and better built then the general purpose built full bore ones. Shinko bought the technology rights and the moulds from Yokohama tire company in the late 90s. Shinko tires are motorcycle equivelant of Kumho/Hankook car tires. They aren't bad, just affordable performance tires. Full bore is like the generic car tires you find at like just tire stores. I read somewhere that full bore tires don't make their own tires but are just a distributor of cheng shin tires from china as in the same folks who make bicycle tires. Any company who adds in" USA" to their company name is already highly suspect to me of a imported brand but are trying hard to sound American.

This is from a Shinko dealer on Psychobike.....
Cycle Concepts is the first to bring you these tires.These tire are the same exact compound as the Shinko U-Soft...These are tires are made is the very same Korean factory as the Shinko and imported into the country by the very same guys that first imported the Shinko..The only difference between this tire and the Shinko is the tread pattern..We currently have the 190 U-Softs in stock and can get the 200 as well...These are offered just like the Shinko's in the U-Soft version and the regular street version...the 190's are priced at $130...Give us a call if you are interested in using this tire!! 803.285.8093
"we have been selling shinko and full bore tires for years and they are two different companies...they are both made in the same facilities but for two different companies...the rubber compounds are the same but the tread is different... "
