I have a pair of Shinko 009s in the garage.  Haven't put them on yet, so they have been excellent so far.  Oh, and they still look LIKE NEW too.

Now *THAT* is a "no negative stuff / no haters" kind of a report!

I almost bought a Shinko tire once. I bought a candy bar instead. I figured it would last longer.

While this comment does come across as 'hater', I suspect the OP will allow it since you tempered it by conveying your love of candy bars.

This was a fun read.
When I'm looking for cheap tires, I'll run the Conti-motions. They feel great, but wear fast.

The OP has no choice in the matter..

He thinks he does.

I run the Shinko Raven rear tire,  I have gone threw 3 of them & got an average of 6500 miles out of each. I only get 6500-7000 out of PR4GT'S & feel the Raven is a good all around tire. I just tried a Shinko advance on a trip to the Smokies a couple weeks ago. It had 20 miles on it when I left & a week later I came back with 2200 miles on it & it's toast, I might get another 500 miles out of it. I will say that I found the advance tire to handle AWSOME & IMHO it handled better than the PR2, PR3, Or PR4's that I have run before but at maybe 3,000 mile tread life for the advance I'm going back to the Raven

'Shinko tires' is pretty generic.  Raven is a sport touring tire, Advance is probably a supersport tire (totally guessing here).

I haven't run Shinkos myself (other than the random round black one I had mounted in Arkansas when the wonderful roads down there killed a tire, it was a glorious death) but some have in my former world (Suzuki Bandit, oh the horror) and they run the daylights out of them, good wear, tolerable handling and better price than a Pirelli Angel GT or Michelin PRx.
