My thoughts on the Shinko 777 on my 2014 Vstar 1300

[@AnthonysWestTexasRides]

My 777's don't even mind tar snakes in 100+ degree temps down here! I have been really impressed with them and have used them for the last 2 bikes I have owned. I have tried Pirelli's, Dunlops, Metzlers, Michelin's throughout the years of riding and I will buy Shinko from now on. I have been impressed as hell with the Shinko, especially in wet conditions. Nice review Dbest!

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Thanks for watching. Good to hear your review on them also . Thanks for recommending them too..

[@bradlozano2571]

@@dbest1aVlogs Ive run Shinko 777 tires on my 2 dynas and i never had any problems with them...But now i have Found Kenda Catyclsm rated at 79 for the rear and the Kenda Cruz at 72 for the front very grippy tires last just as long as the 777 for less money than the 777....

[@sluf1963]

I have used these on one bike so far , my 2007 Suzuki C-50 Custom . I was so pleased with them , I bought a set for both of my H-D Softails , I will also replace the tires on my 2007 Sportster with them as well . I was very impressed with my first set . Dbest , thank you , and ride safe , NC Stoney speaks great of you , so you must be a good guy .

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Thank you for watching. I did like the way they held the road. I put one on the front which has been going for about 8k now with still about 5mm left. The rear lasted approximately 6k then was toast. Not great, but not horrible either compared to other tires. Yes Bob is an invaluable friend, even more so is his invaluable conversation and knowledge. Thank you for the kid words and checking this video out. Man that was a beautiful fall day to ride n cruise. I currently have a commander 2 on the rear.

[@MotoRickyRicardo]

I got the Shinko 777's on my 2017 Sportster back in June, the shop wasnt happy that I didnt go with their in-house tires but I've been pretty happy with mine so far. They're super grippy but they feel harder than my stock tires.

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Great to hear your feedback. Lol yeah the shop was probably pissed that they could make a real profit off of you . Thanks for watching

[@robertoortiz447]

😂😂 for me the shop pointed to me towards the shinko n I’m very happy with it 5k miles later

[@TEAMWRIGHTEOUS]

Appreciate the review bro.... Looking for a set for a customer bike. We ride sport bikes so what's best for us isn't best for cruisers, and you proved to me along with all your commenters, that the 777 is the ticket. 💪😎

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Yes the 777 is sticky , just may not have as much longevity as some may like. Due to the cost of tire replacement. I have a commander 2 on back now which has gone 18k miles so far. I do have to hit the twisties though to keep the profile like it should be .

[@davidonguitar]

Just had a set installed on my ‘05 XL1200R today. Bike definitely handles differently and the whitewalls are mega sexy. So far, I like them.

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Hehe awesome

[@Savage1776_]

I had the same tires on my 2013 Honda Sabre 1300. I have to say that my Dunlop Sprout up about 4,000 miles. I got these and put 12,000 more miles on the bike and still had about 80% when I sold the bike! And I rode the hell out of that bike and also Road through cold and extremely hot temperatures. I took it on long-distance ride through the mountains, through City traffic and potholes, and all different kinds of riding conditions. I have to say that I am a fan of these tires. Right now I have a 2006 Softail Deluxe and am getting some White Walls this week. The problem is when I buy these tires off eBay I save a ton of money but I don't get the free installation. Right now at Harley-Davidson to get to whitewall tires for a Softail Deluxe they quoted me at $1,100

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Thank you for your input . Wow 1100 for some white walls. Holly heck. Then again, you gotta pay to play hehe. Either way stay safe, and ride safe.

[@davidhayden6724]

Good review. When I purchased my used 2008 Vulcan 900 Classic LT, it had Dunlop tires and it did "follow" the tar snakes. They weren't too bad but you definitely knew they were there. When it was time to replace them, I put on a pair of Michelin Commander II's and I still notice the tar snakes but not nearly as much as the Dunlops. I do love the handling of the Michelins though. Ride safe my friend.

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Yes the Michelin handles darn good. I beat on them in 2016 on my trip to the tail of the dragon . They held up good. I had about 3mm left to the wear bars when I changed them out. Thanks for watching and stay safe.

[@mikeaversa8007]

Fellow rider, I have the same tires on my Kawasaki Vulcan. I love them. My bike came with Dunlops. They wore terrible, terrible mileage, and awful handling. These tires ride over lines in the road as if they weren't there. The bike leans into curves so well I have to be careful not to drop it, and they are fine in the rain. They were a good price. I'd definitely buy another set. Not sure about the mileage, but it appears it will be better than the Dunlops. Maybe your review will help other riders come to appreciate these fine tires as we have.

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Yes, your right about the lines. Also pavement unevenness too.. thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I also have noticed what you spoke off with the leaning. The bike will just fall over , took me a bit to adjust to this. Thanks for commenting, and ride safe friend. Happy holidays

[@MotoKari]

The GSXR came with Shinkos and they worked surprisingly well. Only lost traction once with them and it was in damp conditions. Glad yours are working out good for you ☺️

[@dbest1aVlogs]

That's good to hear, not the loosing traction part.. rain does bring in a lot of extra factors.

A Good honest review thank you & G'Day from rural South Australia, a Michelin Commander is $450 fitted ATM, May 2022 & I am on my 3rd averaging around 14,000 - 15,000 km's, I have tried many tires, 23 rear tyres in the last 15 years but our roads a rough as guts, I think I may give Shinko a try on 2008 my Softail

[@dbest1aVlogs]

My shinko rear didn't last too long. 6k out the rear and it was time for a change . The commander 2s. I get about 18k miles out of a rear. The commander 2 runs about 200 us. The commander 3 rear about 320 us The shinko 777 rear 100 us. Pound for pound the miles is better with the commander 2. Still not to knock the shinko . It is a very good tire . It offered very good grip, and feel. Just no longevity. If your paying someone to I stall tires the longer lasting is the better bet.

[@mtericktucson]

Thank you Sir for this upload. I ordered a front/rear set for my 06 Electra Glide. Sure is a great price on these.

[@dbest1aVlogs]

I hope they work out for you. I love the fronts, the rear I got about 6k out of, which isn't bad. I was hoping for 10k. Maybe I was over hoping hehe. Thanks for watching.

[@Crazygaucho62]

Excellent video thanks a lot …..after I had my first Shinko I wouldn’t buy anything else I know longevity is not as great as the Michelin, but I have to many bikes and my tires get old before worn out plus the only time I purchased a very expensive Michelin tire I caught a sheet metal screw kinda of too close to the sidewall, ended up throwing away with with about 300 miles ( I know not the tires fault) but noticed also they were a little too stiff at least to my taste, plus the shinko comes with white sidewalls which’s a nice choice to have on a cruiser…

[@IronCrossRacing]

Looks like they are wearing pretty good! I always wondered about Shinko but I know a lot of people that run'em and for the price they seem to like them pretty well. Thanks for the review and update on how they have been doing for ya! 😎👍🤘

Where did you get that cover for your engine guard? I just ordered these tires. Glad to see some great reviews

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Those are stock yamaha big bar guards. I used to use them on the cobra fatty bars when I had that bar on. It was a tight fit, but served its purpose well. Those shinkos lasted approx 6k rear and over 12k front. I replaced the rear with a commander 2.

[@TheMattManTN]

Cool review and good info.I ran Shinkos on my KLR and had no issues at all. I don't have enough miles on the new bike to even think about new tires but will look at different brands and compare when time comes.

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Anytime brother. I love the front , man they just stick... rain , shine ... they stick. The rear worked well too. I only managed to get about 5k out the rear . But my bike may be tough on tires

[@patricksmith6776]

I'm kind of at a loss right now. I'm thinking about these or the commander 2. I'm hearing great things about both, the price point looks great on the triple 7 but the commander 2's mileage looks great too. I live in an area that has extreme highs and decent lows, 28F-110F I ride year round. I know the softer compounds break down faster in high heat environments but I'm not really sure how the harder compounds in the commander will hold up in the cold and wet. Since you've ran both any thoughts? I'm replacing the exedras on a v star 650.

[@dbest1aVlogs]

The 777 faired about just under 6k miles. I went back to a commander 2 in the rear which I got 18k out of before. I do have a 777 in the front, which has really been nice. it's performed good, and mileage should be about 9 to over 10k from the front tire. The commander 2 can handle the high heat, and the low temps. Just know though they don't like tar snakes. lol. The 777 in the front is a little more resilient , but on a 90 degree day ....... You will still notice them. lol Thank you for watching

[@nwroadrat]

I'm not a tire expert either, but I know when they don't work! Haven't heard of these. Interesting. Sounds like these would be good for wet environments.

[@dbest1aVlogs]

I haven't had an issue in the wet, but I also don't push it in the wet, minimal lean and such. For what they are.... they have been good. The big savings is I mount them myself. Unless your able to remove the wheel and take it to get mounted, that would help with cost too. I estimate to get 9k to 10k out the rear. If I get to 9k, I will be happy. with a 170/70 I am a little limited.

Thank you for the kind words. The bars were cobra fatty bars. I ended up crashing (lowsiding) and they did their job n saved my bike. I took them off and put on a lindby unibar, I think it's called.

That’s an excellent review bro. I still run the OE Bridgestone Exedra on my Suzuki C90T and they have served me well. My sporty FJ-09 use the Dunlop 222. These take a little to warm up and are not as sticky as I would like. So I might just switch those out for some Michelin Pilots.

This bike came with Bridgestone excedra . They were nice but lasted 6k approximately in the rear, and had a little life up front. I wasn't very happy with them though.

[@cncbuss1]

Good review video. With a lot of people working on a limited budget, the Shinko brand-name is a little easier to purchase when big brand name tires. In my opinion, if you have to choose between keeping your brand-name tires which are worn to nothing or getting a brand new pair of less expensive tires, you’re better off with the less expensive, newer rubber.

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Thank you for watching. Yes the shinko rear wasn't bad , mileage was a little short at 6k. I had approx 1mm to wear bars. Maybe some would get more life with a lighter bike. The front is still going with approximately 7k on it , give or take a few hundred. They do grip good , the rear held up great to heavy/hard cornering, as does the front. My only issue with the rear has been mileage. 6k is short when I was hoping for 10k.

[@MCTVOFFICIAL]

What size your front tire ?

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Always stock. Currently running metzler cruise tecs

[@DarthBop]

How much mileage did you get out of them? I have an '08 Venture which is a similar bike. I do a lot of miles in a season. I hate disassembling the bike to get the rear tire off. And, I'm cheap.

[@dbest1aVlogs]

These rear tires lasted about 6500miles. I would have been happier with 10k. I did end up going with a commander 2, which I am kind of ok with. I think next time I'm going with a shinko se890 in a 180/70/16

[@TechnMoto]

Bought these Shinko 777 for my ultra classic and experienced a wobble at 70 mph. Company still has not responded to my emails and phone calls about the issue and it has been 3 months. No support from Shinko. Yes I took them off and installed Michelin no more wobble. The front Shinko tire has a defect in it a flat spot and I didn’t check the rear just replaced both.

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Hmm. You maybe got a bad set. I didn't get any wobbles, but I found the rear to wear quick.

[@TechnMoto]

Dbest1a’s Ride I’m still waiting to hear from them on my tire issue. Thanks for the review well done

[@jackjuby9520]

777’s are not designed for the big bagger, they are designed for cruiser size bikes. Shinko make a tire designed around the big baggers

[@troygreengreen8339]

I love my 777 great tires

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Yes , pretty nice . I took off the front due to a little dry rot showing. They had approx 12k on them with still about 3 to 4mm to the wear bars. Grip was still decent , even in heavy rain. Just when I see dry rot... time to go. I replaced them with a new 777 which ended up oddly having a flat spot. I'm not sure how , but it caused a bad vibration and wobbles in turns. Very disturbing. I removed that and installed a commander 3 front. Still I feel the shinko 777 is a great front tire , just sometimes you can get a bad apple.

[@adminadmin9997]

@@dbest1aVlogs so you don't recommend getting a rear from shinko?

[@dbest1aVlogs]

@@adminadmin9997 I won't again. I just need more miles out of a tire than 6k. Commander 2 n some others get over 15k.

[@RandysRides]

Yup...beware of tar snakes. Although it sounds like those 777's have no probs with them. Good review !!

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Lol. I hit one once , it scared the crap out of me.. almost put me on my arse. Lol...

I have an 07 Vstar 1300. We’re you still satisfied with these with additional mileage? What mileage did you get out them? Thanks

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Rear got 6k and was down to 1mm. The front about 12k with 4 to 6mm left. I had to change the front due to dry rot, from not riding much during covid. I now run a commander 2 rear.

[@1GDFELLA]

@@dbest1aVlogs hi nice review was wondering if you know about the 230 tour master ? Trying to decide between them are the 777 for my 82 CB 750 thanks either way have a great day

[@dbest1aVlogs]

@@1GDFELLA no . Never tried the 230. They probably don't have my size. The 777 was nice but lasted 6k. Not much for these heavy bikes.

[@TexRider]

I have them on my sporty .. they grab nice .

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Nice Tex I never knew that . I remembered in one video you said you had them on the big bike..

[@freedomrider2157]

Good review, Bruce ✌️

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Thanks Tom. Happy holidays

[@OldManTony]

I think you can get Shinko tyres in the U.K., but I don’t know anyone that uses them.

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Interesting maybe due to not being widely used hmm. Thanks for watching.. Keep the rubber side down.

[@theinfinitryda]

How did they hold up

[@dbest1aVlogs]

They are still going.. right now we are in our winter , so no mileage added right now. Currently I have 5200 miles on the rear, less on the front. When it is time to change the tire out, I will film another analysis of the rear tire. I, also, am using ride on to balance the tires. Look out for that video ...

[@jacklanier41]

How many miles did you get on the front and rear?

[@dbest1aVlogs]

The front I got about 12k the rear 6k. The rear had nothing left. I went back to a commander 2 rear.

[@johnthecarguy1267]

I ran them on my 04 fatboy . only got 5000 miles out of rear. I ran 4 sets. But last 2 sets where bad. Cost me a ride that I really wanted to do. I will never buy one again. I have few friends that also had them go bad after 1500 miles . .tires out of round.

[@dbest1aVlogs]

I ran a commander 2 after the rear shinko asthe shinko only got 6500 miles. Still I've been running the front which has been nice and I'm at 8k on that . I call maybe 9k before its a must change. Out of round issues suck , and can happen with any tire. Definitely I would have contacted either the dealer or the manufacturer.

[@FoxPeaTwo]

Great review my friend!!

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Thank you Fox .

best tire right now at a real good price

Thank you , for watching

[@TheBlueBikeDoyle]

Nice

[@64brew]

you are awesome Great job :)

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Thank you for watching. They lasted approx. 5500 miles. I ordered a commander 2 to go back on the back. I will do an update video when I get the tire off the rim. I have about 2mm to the tread bars.

[@64brew]

@@dbest1aVlogs I just had to watch this again. I think I'm going with the 777 tires over the 230 tour masters. Thumbs up my friend!

[@dbest1aVlogs]

I've never heard of tour masters. I got about 5500 out of the rear. The front is still going. I ended up swapping out the rear for a commander 2, cause I know I can get minimum 19k out of a rear commander 2. Which equals to about 100 bucks to 10k if I take it to 20k.. a little more than $100 but close. The c2 was 216. The 777 rear was 98.

[@GPz84]

SHINKO, for when you don't give a shit......

[@dbest1aVlogs]

If u say so. Your comment lacks clarity in your thought

[@boycottjews]

Im certain that tire is mounted backwards. The tread is pointing in a way that pushes the water to the center not the outside.

[@boycottjews]

The rear one is correct. Did you put them in yourself?

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Yeah the arrow on them point forward.

[@boycottjews]

@@dbest1aVlogs well I guess you're good then.

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Yeah , they were always pretty good . Even in heavy rain too. I'm running a commander 3 front currently.
