Hey, today we’re checking out the Shinko 005 Advance tire this is actually one of the best-selling sport tires for you budget-minded guys out there who maybe don’t have a ton of money to spend on tires every month depending on how much you’re right these tires you can get a set of them depending on the size you need typically well under 200 bucks.
Are people satisfied with their Shinko 005 Advance tires?
They are definitely a huge huge value that a lot of people have been happy about once they’ve tried them out now some people are a little hesitant to try out Shinko tires I wanted to address that I actually have a set of Shinko 005 Advance on my bike which is their sport touring tire I’ve been really surprised pleasantly surprised I should say with how well they’ve held up and how well they stick even in the mountains of North Carolina and it’s raining you know pushing it a little harder than maybe they were designed to they’ve held up really really.
Is Shinko 005 Advance a sporty tire?
Well the Shinko 005 Advance is actually more more sporty tire than the so it’s kind of taking it up to the next level uses an intermediate tread pattern tread compound excuse me which is going to do two things it’s kind of bridging the gap between longevity for tire life and stickiness so you want a tire that’s gonna last you a reasonable amount of time but you also want something that’s going to provide you the traction when you need it obviously taking a look at the rear tire they actually provide a large block pattern in these tires so that’s just the tread design of the way that they have these grooves they actually crisscross the center of the tread there and then it’s going to help evacuate water they have very large deep rain grooves on these and then if you look at the sidewalls here or the shoulders of the tread they fall off very steeply so there are a nice they’re kind of rounded on the top on the crown of the tire and then they do step off to the side quite a bit so when you’re if you’re a more aggressive rider and you’re really leaning over into the turns that gives you a little bit more contact patch on the edge.
Does Shinko 005 Advance tire have good traction?
You can also see that these grooves on the sides actually narrow down towards the shoulders and that gives you a more again a larger contact patch on the sidewalls here, not the sidewalls but on the shoulders of the tire so you can get cranked over all the way to the edge you get the tire warmed up good and then you’re gonna have good traction throughout the side here looking at the front here again you have that crisscrossing pattern on the front tire that’s giving you adequate water evacuation so for wet weather riding you know if you’re out there and you’re doing a lot of miles you never know what kind of weather you might run into from day to day so if you do get caught in the rain these are gonna evacuate lots of water keep you nice and plants and feeling and again nice drop off to the sides here. There’s a more sporty tire and then a good shoulder area as well to get over onto the sides and the turns
