Anyone tried these?

Shinko SR999 tires​

They have a 110/90 19 that should work for the rear and a 100/90 for the front

The link/photo (?) doesn't work for me - just a very big, blank square with a small question mark in the middle.

I don't have the 999s but have used the 712s on many bikes, currently on my Suzuki GS1100E and just put on my Laverda 3C. They are good tires and come in the sizes I need. All my bikes have limited choices including the N15CS, and Shinko makes what I need. They are quite a good deal at $80-90 each, but I'd run them even if they cost more. I can't tell them from the Avons and Bridgestones I've used in recent years, but I'm just a casual street rider and don't ride in the rain. All this to say that Shinko is a trustworthy choice.

110/90 19 is what I run on the rear and its a perfect fit
100/90 19 on the front also a perfect fit
Personally I wouldn't run anything thinner

Yrs, indeed. I ve run them on my Kawasaki Versys 650 for a few years. They ate very good street tire, decent wear, and rain use is decent. They have performed better than the OEM Dunlops....all major tire companies make lower end tires. Think is good bang for the buck(s)...

I run Shinkos on 2 Ironheads and the Combat- love them. Absolutely the best tire in the rain I've used- deep side rain grooves really displace the water. Durability? Hard to say- at 75, I don't pound the miles so at about 2000- 2500 miles a year they last about 4 years.
