I used to run shinko's on a Kz/400. I used it more like an enduro than a street bike but the Shinkos were fine for me. This was also 25 years ago ! Bike Bandit has a review section under each tire they sell. The reviews do not appear to be eddited as there are many negative comments on most of the brands. It may help to brouse thru their site, and get even more feedback. To me Quality outweighs price every time. Although I do buy store brand Mayonaise. Ps; I purchase my tires from Bike Bandit!  http://www.bikebandit.com/

Will try Shinko on my next change, if i could find a shop that sells that here. It is hard to find tires the size for x500 here there are only 3 store that i know and they only have pireli gts, diablo and metzeler.
