good economy tires - I'm running them on my '81 1100E currently.
No complaints, but then again I'm not a very aggressive rider compared to some...'85 GS550L - SOLD

As long as you get them from a respected site you should be ok. I know a couple guys that run Shinko's on their "touring" sport bikes. I wouldn't be afraid to try them- just don't try to get a knee down in a bend.Comment

The 230's are V rated so they must have a decent casing. I put a set on my first 1000S and they seem to work well.Ed

If you buy a defective tire online ya have to pay to have it shipped to and from.
Last two sets I've purchased I've done online with no issues.
Luckily another set I bought locally I had issues with.sigpic
