- Start date
d00d your track must suck..... tell them to do a little prep workUp Date on my new 190 shinko ..I went to the track tonight and was so unhappy .. the first 3 runs i smoked the tire the hole 1/8 mile !! I keep dropping the tire PSI till i got to 9 PSI (started @ 20 psi)and the bike started wheeling @ 9 PSI ...After i found the right PSI the shinko worked great!!! So in closing it was the rider and not the tire ....Lee..
I run 25 psi in my normal shinko putting 270hp to the ground and don't have a traction problem.
You have to scuff the Shinko up really good...I had a new one on and went to the track and it did the same thing...Scared the shat out of me...Got it scuffed up and it started to hook it's a$$ off...Up Date on my new 190 shinko ..I went to the track tonight and was so unhappy .. the first 3 runs i smoked the tire the hole 1/8 mile !!

WHAT STORE??? THAT'S A CRACKHEAD DEAL.
on a marginally prepped track, I will spin a broke-in shinko 003 at over 16lbs. alot depends on the rider, bike, atmospheric conditions, etc.I HAVE 34LBS OF PRESSURE AND NEVER HAVE A TRACTION PROBLEM WITH MY SHINKO...Up Date on my new 190 shinko ..I went to the track tonight and was so unhappy .. the first 3 runs i smoked the tire the hole 1/8 mile !!

a well prepped track with a 700lb bike/rider package under 250hp will be fine on the shinko 003.
my next tire will be the shinko ultra soft. 2 of my partners already using them and are very pleased, saying they work better than the MCR2 on its best day!

Our track is called Sunshine Speedway, In the summer 92+ deg we call it Slipshine Slowway... My bike is 500 pounds and i weight in at 125... It's making around 210 hp to 220 hp on 8 psi boost.... Having the tire @ 9 psi and lower killed my MPH but i did get it to hook after the sun went down around 8:30..Both tracks here have tried everything to get the track to hook in this nasty FLA heat .....It just doesn't work till fall ; spring and winter ...d00d your track must suck..... tell them to do a little prep workUp Date on my new 190 shinko ..I went to the track tonight and was so unhappy .. the first 3 runs i smoked the tire the hole 1/8 mile !!

If you guys get together and pay for 8 R003's at a time i will ship them tyd for $125-130 in the lower 48 states 180 or 190's and 200's would be $15 more.I can get you the fronts in 120/60's or 120/70's also for $85 tyd in either size. I'm in oregon with cache.
