81 XS650 Special
Hey all, I know this debate is endless on which tire is the best for these bikes, some people have their preferences but I had a question about these shinko 230 tires. Has anyone ever run them on their bikes? I just ordered up a set to try on my bike, and was wondering if anyone had them and what they liked or disliked about them. After riding at highway speeds the other day, on a very windy day the bike gave me a little wobble at 70-75. After inspecting the tires, should have done that in the first place I know, I found that I had a dunlop on the rear, and a kenda on the front. Dont know how I missed that before lol. They are in pretty decent shape, however they dont handle that well and I would prefer to have matching tires front and back. So I have an 81 special, and I ordered a 130/90 16 for the rear, and a 100/90 19 for the front. Hopefully that will improve my ride a little lol. Anybody who has run these in the past are there any issues with cornering or traction on wet roads? Thanks in advance for any replies, opinions, or advice. The reviews seem pretty decent, and I am currently running a set of kenda 671's on a cm400 that I havent had any issues with, but like I said I wanted to try these out.
