Shinko 805/804 first impressions on my Triumph Scrambler. Great option if you want to have fun offroad. If you spend most of your time on road, you'll want to watch my review of the Avon Trail Riders (absolutely brilliant on road):

And here's my review of the Heidenau K60:
• Video
Latest update: I was able to put over 7000km my 2nd rear shinko I'll be replacing it soon as well as the front that will be at about 15000km (still some thread left but started wearing a bit unevenly towards the end. Considering the set costs less than a K60 rear tire alone, this is crazy millage. And I ride agressively (both on acceleration and braking). Someone riding in a more relax mood can easily get better longevity. If you're looking for a 50/50 tire, look no more, this is hands down the best bang for the buck, and their not just great cause their cheap, they'd still be a great deal if they were over 50% more expensive.

Update: I have about 4500km on this set, I've been riding it pretty agressively, spinning the rear wheel in sand, packed dirt, gravel, a few clutch up wheelies here and there, and there's probably 25% life left in the rear tire. Front tire probably has at least 80% left in it. So I think someone riding at a reasonable pace could realistically expect to get at least 7000km out of the rear and easily 12-15000km+ from the front. One thing I did notice is that once the rear wears the middle obviously wears faster than the sides but not like the Heidenau, it's more progressive and the bike still feels fairly stable where as on the K60s, after 4000km the bike would wobble in the high speed bends and even in a straight line above 150km/h. Do I still recommend them? Yes, they are crazy tires for the money (and I dare say, even if they weren't so cheap they'd still be a lot of tire for the price) :) I had the rear slip out once in the first 100km (street corner, leaned, full throttle), but it gripped back and the bike has never slipped since (and still grinding pegs). Rode them in the rain very good there too they evacuate loads of water.

@@RouteNRide There's so many variables. I've read of people putting 20000km on a rear K60 Scout, I've never gotten more than 10-12000km regardless of the bike I was riding and the tires I used (going on my 18th bike now). Yes tire pressure is very important for wear, but other factors will also affect how much you get out of a tire. Like: the bike (power/torque), the weight of the bike, rider and passenger, the surface you are riding on (even pavement isn't the same around the world), the temperature you are riding in, how aggressively you start and stop the bike, if you do a lot drifting in the dirt, wheelies, etc...So by no means do I claim my numbers are what everyone will experience, it's simply a reference point :) Some can probably go through a set in under 3000km, and some will get 10000k easy. Also, some people wear their tires until there's absolutely no thread left. I replace them when they are down to the wear indicators (which usually means you could easily put another 2-3000km on them if you wanted, though it wouldnt be recommended in the rain, and it will also be more prone to tire punctures.

Thanks for your prompt response.

@ValentinoLuggen 5 лет назад

thanks! do you have a lot of experience in the rain? I live on a tropical island and face a lot of wet pavement too.

@Speedytrip 5 лет назад

They work really well, because of the offroad thread its almost impossible to aquaplane. With that said, like with any tire, always best to ride more conservatively in the rain :)

Shinko, FTW!

@eduardogorrochotegui5660 6 лет назад

Hi. Thanks for your video review. Did you install in the rear a 130/80 -17 or 140/80 -17?

@Speedytrip 6 лет назад

The 140, fits perfectly and not too far off from stock size. Speedo still reads accurately.

@leibolq9612 5 лет назад

I installed the 140/80-17 on my 2015 Triumph scrambler. Fits perfect (no modifications needed other than adjusting the chain tension, which you were supposed to adjust with the stock set anyway). I got a considerable reduction in gasoline economy (I wonder of is due to the tires being knobby and increasing the resistance to move).

@@leibolq9612 how did yours old up on street/road ? I’m thinking of getting these for my 14 scrambler, but I ride 90% street

@leibolq9612 5 лет назад

Did you notice any fuel economy reduction? I am gettin 14-16 kilometers per liter on my 2015 Triumph scrambler and the dates match with the tires change. I dont have any other tires set to swap/test. Used to be 19km/l on a bad day and 22km/l on a good one.

@Speedytrip 5 лет назад

Leibol Q No I didnt really pay attention. Theres clearly more rolling resistance than a smooth tire but it shouldnt affect mpg by more than a few %

@leibolq9612 5 лет назад

Speedytrip thanks for your reply. I’ve been using them for 6 months now (actually i was inspired on your video to get this tire set. Love the looks!) guess in need to check what’s causing the fuel economy issues (clogged air filter maybe, or faulty intake temp sensor) i’ll comment later. Cheers!

@Speedytrip 5 лет назад

Leibol Q If you want to eliminate the tires from the equation try a set of avon trail riders (I also reviewed those). They work surprisingly well on dirt roads and on the road they feel like sport touring tires.

Hi do you have photos of the bike with the tyres ?

@Speedytrip 9 месяцев назад

I no longer have the bike, but found this shot: www.dropbox.com/s/qyb793ny6ad3s06/scrambler-sideview.jpg?dl=0

I have put the shinko 804/805 on my tiger.. but the front tyres says tube type but I put it without the tube , so I was wondering if it is safe.. what's your opinion.. thanks

@Speedytrip 7 лет назад

If it says tube, I'd put a tube. You can use tubeless tires with tubes, but I probably wouldn't recommend using tires that were designed to be used with a tube, without one.
