I would assume its because most people think you could make a better tire out of rubber bands then buying a Shinko. I've read a lot about those tires, and they are supposed to be really good tires, but people knock them because they are "budget". Kind of the same debate as helmets, do you want a $100 budget tire keeping you from hitting the pavement or a $200 tire.
Even mentioned Shinko here at work and was immediately given dirty looks. I've not read anything bad about them though, outside of being "cheep".
