    I have one at the moment. No complaints. It's doing as well or better than the Conti TKV12 it replaced after 7000 miles. I don't see any of the cupping on the thread like I used to. The TKV11 up front is due soon and I would choose Conti again.
    I can't say I have tried many different tyres. The Conti was such an improvement over the bald, carcass-showing, thing that was on it.
    I hear they also offer a radial contiattack or something?
    I don't ride hard and have half inch chicken strips at the very least.

      Conti "GO" tires used to be made in Korea.
      Continental sent them out subcontracted to manufacture by I think Stinko.

        I have never tried the 130/90-17 version but I have Conti Go tires in 100/90-19 front and 120/90-18 rear on my KZ750 and like them. They are a softish tire and easy to install. Continental rates them as a general purpose tire, not a super sport tire. I haven't looked to see where they are made, or where since my set is some years old now.

          Shinko has a darn good reputation around here (This forum) for a low priced tire. If you do your own mounting and balancing two sets will assure you of a fresh set of tires for the same mileage you'd get out of the top of the line tires. A good rule of thumb would be to go with Shinko if you don't plan to wear the higher priced ones out within five years.
