First impressions of the Shinko 244 tires on my DR650 after 1000km (and a punctured tube!).
I will update here later the km I will have gotten out of the set, but as much as I like trying different tires, if these give decent mileage, I'm likely to stick with these for a while, really great jack of all trades kind of tire!
This video is just my personal opinion, like when it comes to engine oils, opinions may vary :)
Update: Now 4100km on the tires, rear is at about 70% worn (they wear very evenly, but I did start noticing a few small cracks around some of the center knobs). Front is just starting to show signs of wear. I would still recommend them, as I've seen other riders report cracks on most of the popular 50/50 tires, often the rubber is softer, lower PSI, wheel spinning and wheelies can be rough on tires. Front tire is at 7000km now and still going strong.
