Full Bore M-3 Track Sport Tires | K3 Chris Onwiler | Trackdaymag

Here is a quote from the 2nd link.

trackdaymag.com said:
To quote from their website, “The M-3 Track Sport was designed for the rider wanting the ultimate in handling and performance. The M-3's are available in two compounds, soft and ultra soft. With its near slick design, this DOT approved tire will soon have a cult following at track days and become the tire of choice for drag racing. If a super sticky compound for the ultimate in traction is a top priority and longevity secondary, the ultra soft M-3 is the tire of choice.â€￾

We do not agree. As they are currently offered, Full Bore tires are not suitable for track day use. The square profile of their rear tire puts a lot of rubber on the ground when the bike is straight up or moderately leaned over. This, combined with the sticky M-3 compound, would make Full Bore an ideal choice as a street/strip tire for a hyper-sports bike like a Hayabusa or ZX14. Were we building a drag bike for the road, we wouldn’t hesitate to use these tires. Unfortunately, we tried to use them on a road racing circuit. It will be interesting to see if the company builds a rear tire with a profile more suitable for track day use in the future. For now though, we would NOT recommend Full Bore tires for track day use. As it is, we’re facing a full rebuild.

I would rather see a friend on Worn out Avon/Bridgestones/Pirelli tires then in the Hospital or at their Funeral because they tried to safe a buck on tires. Come on man. A Reputable tire can make a differance between Death and an O **** moment that you are glad you made it :rulez:

Have you ever ridden a Shinko? I have, for about 3 years. Was it the greatest tire? No. But did it serve its purpose well for street riding? Absolutely.

Yet I see folks riding sport bikes with worn out tires all the time. If the price point of a new Shinko Raven or similar gets them to put new tires on their bikes, then I am all for it. Worn out tires are a poor choice no matter what the brand.

Said another way, Shinko tires ARE reputable tires, perhaps not the best, but people are not going to their graves because of them.

And anybody who is riding on the street at track levels is a fool, no matter how good their tires are. :rulez:
 
Hey, Bosshound, my last post sounded more confrontational than I meant it too be. I'm not disagreeing with your advice that people should buy good tires. I just think the Shinko is an acceptable street tire, especially for people who ride within reasonable street limits. FWIW, I've been street riding for nearly 35 years. The bikes and tires today are lightyears better than what I grew up on. I've had accidents, thankfully few, but not one of them can I attribute to bad tires.

What he meant was that it is safer to ride on new treads then a tire that has reached it life expectancy. Regardless of the brand.
