speedygeezer Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I'm on my 5th (or 6th) set of 009's. Only complaint is that the front tire cups out long (7500 miles) before the center of the tire is half-worn. It then becomes annoying because it won't stay balanced properly for any length of time. I used to run Avons, but the 009 produces 25% better mileage, not to mention a substantially reduced cost. I'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZDave Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I also have never worn a tyre to the indicators. I don't believe that is worth the money savings. Yeah but once down to the wear bars and beyond its like a slick and much more grip in the dry Good point! :icon_think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharknes Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I thought shinko tyres where made by one of the larger mainstream brands like bridgstone, same technology same material just branded under a different name, large companies often do this to get market share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
