Fellas just got my new shinko from ups the other day. And boy does she look good. The tire has more of a race appeal compared to the regular u-soft. the tire is definitely softer. You can just about feel the difference in the 2 tires. The new tire is PERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTY! Will post pics up when i get back to the crib. Bring on the season. If i dont get anything right the tire will hook!!!:punk Get ready decoy :burnout

a guy at the track today was running the new Shinko Drag Radial. the tire is very, very soft when cold (air temp was around 70 degrees today) and looks like it heats up very quickly. i mean after like 1 second of burnout it was already smoking real good.

hurry up and get another pc and get that thing tuned. It will lay down a number then. All the tools are in place.

I have already got to try a few launches with one of these on my Buell. There was a noticeable difference over the UltraSoft even on a very cold track surface.
I'm not sure if I will use one on my gixxer. That one seams to launch better with just a little more tire slip.
