Shinko 705 run down

[ADKsuper10]

Tried them for some miles yesterday on a nice groomed dirt road. like them better than the battlewings for sure on dirt.

Other than more road noise at speed - the treads make a “whirring” sound - I like them alot. On pavememt I dont notice them behaving any different for the way I ride. Road on them during some heavy rain last week and they stuck to the road just fine - felt confident.

Overall two thumbs up so far.

Wondering what psi everyone is running in them?. I run the stock recommended 33 front and 42 rear.

33/36psi for me and I'll bump the rear to 40 with a load. For the price, these are very good tires but not as sticky as the Pirelli Trail 2. My problem is I rarely get to 6K miles on a rear before I feel the need to change it.

Has anyone noticed a mileage difference in the radial version vs the bias ply?

Just replaced a rear 705 at just shy of 9K miles. I could probably have gotten another 500-1K miles if I pushed it. The front at that mileage only looks about half worn.

The front 705 on mine was wearing funny. And the center tread knobs starred getting bumps on them during e recent trip. Still tracked ok, but it got very noisy and loud. Just about 9k on it. Put another on as I had one to use. I’ll probably try something else after this. The 705 rear has 5-6k on it and a bit of life yet.

I put mine on by hand, mini tire irons and a bead buddy, it went on easy enough and balanced with 2 oz. Great tire on street and dirt maybe 4000 miles looks like I'll get another 4000, I paired it with the 805 front and I would stick with that combo unless I was going to do a cross country run.

705 rear, 804 front is my Shinko adventure mullet! Let the rear play a bit but stop and turn predictably. I loved this combination on my V-strom650, about to try it on my Super Tenere.
