This may have come up before and I missed it....

Has anyone tried these tires?

Shinko 241. Price seems to low to believe.

Thanks

Alan

2-4-1 is that the price?

Never heard of them myself....I'm trying out a budget tyre ;Vee rubber 308@

Here is their web site. They have a price list in euros.

They look the part but as you know thats not the crucial aspect...does it grip?

It would be great if a new manufacturer could break the monopoly that Mich/Dunlop and IRC seem to have.

I see what you're getting at though...we need a pioneer to spend his own dosh ,give them a test and report back to TC.

All those willing to volunteer, take one step forward???

From the info on the website , they are based on 1998 yokohama technology !!??!!! ...

I don't remember a yoko trials tire , unless they were OE. on some enduro bikes ?

The rear Shinko tyre in the photo has a different aspect ratio (lower profile) to Michelin/Dunlop/IRC - looks more like MITAS

Lower profile = probably inferior to the name brand tyres on logs, rocks etc but probably OK for Dirt Track racing

I already wasted my money trying a MITAS so I'm not going to be the bunny
