Shinko Rubber Industrial took its first steps in the middle of the last century, manufacturing and selling bicycle tires. And already after three decades, the company acquired a license allowing it to produce products under the Yokohama logo. So, a plant has appeared in Kyang Nam, where Shinko motor tires are still being produced to this day.
Rapid progress
Over the long years of its existence, the company has acquired its own laboratory, whose research staff is engaged in the development and implementation of new technologies.
In 1980, the enterprise was modernized, and the capacity was increased, which allowed to produce up to 2.2 million products per month. After eight years, these numbers have already reached 4.4 million.
The best models
At the moment, "Shinko" represents a wide range of motorcycle tires, and also makes rubber for scooters. Among the most famous lines of Shinko motor tires, the legendary Golden Tires, which were developed specifically for the Italian championship, can be distinguished.
Made in the American style, the SR777 tire received high marks from experts and became a worthy replacement for OEM tires. They are black with a white side. The tread pattern and depth are identical for rubber mounted on the front and rear wheels.
If you do not test your bike at high speeds, but prefer a measured ride, then the E705 Trail Master model is suitable. It shows incredible results on paved roads, dry and wet asphalt, as well as on compacted dirt roads. In addition, having bought Shinko motor tires, you will receive quality goods for relatively little money, and the rubber resource will pleasantly surprise you. It is the ratio of price and quality that makes Shinko a sales leader.
The 230 TOUR MASTER, SR733, 740, 741, 279 SUPER CLASSIC and 009 RAVEN models have won the hearts of chopper owners. They were specially developed taking into account the characteristics of the rear wheels of sport-cruise bikes, which allowed to provide maximum comfort for the driver and passenger, as well as improve handling. They got a symmetrical V-shaped tread pattern. The most successful among the sport-cruise line were 006 PODIUM and 003 STEALTH.
For lovers of cross-country competitions and outdoor activities, the Shinko 525 Soft-int motor tire was developed. It shows excellent results while driving on the road, having a unique tread that can self-clean from dirt. These tires boast a high level of protection against mechanical damage.
Korean quality
Reviews on Shinko motor tires are positive. This has a logical explanation. Many motorists and professional racers opt for it. After all, Shinko motor tires have a high level of grip. This greatly affects the safety of the motorcyclist, passenger and other road users. To make the right choice, you need to pay attention not only to the size, but also to the tread, taking into account all the features of the terrain in which the motorcycle will be operated.
The quality of products marked "Shinko" is always on top. This is due to the fact that the tires are made according to the technology used by Yokohama Corporation, a world leader and having factories on three continents. Ultramodern equipment is used during production. Competent marketing policy makes it possible to keep an affordable price, which is much lower than that of the main competitors. You can buy Shinko motor tires in Moscow at every motor shop.
Future plans
The South Korean company is not going to slow down, and intends to engage in an increase in capacity. This gives motorcyclists the confidence that in the near future we can expect another know-how that will make the composition of the Shinko rubber better and significantly improve its performance on the road.
