    Shinko 003 Stealth tire

    I'm a Sunday drag racer but week days do most of my riding on the street. I'm hoping to put my 80 GS1100 into the high 10's this year. Since traction has been an issue in the past, I'm wondering about taking my Pirelli off and running this Shinko.
    The question is, how is this tire on the street? What kind of mileage can I expect to get out of it? I realize it's softer than most street tires.

    The biggest complaint about durability came from a Busa rider.

      Great, thanks Steve.

      The bonus is they're only $125 CDN with free shipping.

        I have run them for a while and they stick real good. Power one will last longer and offers just as much traction

          The Power One was discontinued several years ago.

            Nasty what size rim are you running on the rear?
            I really like the Shinko Stealth tires it is all I use now. they make them in three different compounds. The 003 stealth is the hardest compound but still very sticky and last fairly good on the street. Then the U-soft which is very sticky but will last 1500 to 2000 miles on the street with a couple dozen drag race runs. And then the Hook Up radial which is a street legal drag slick with tread cut into it. The street will eat this tire up in no time less than 500 miles on the street and 50 passes on the track.
