Nice tire fits great.

Ran these on a Vstrom 650. Nearly useless in anything slick but performed well and held up decently on a mix of 90/10 pavement/gravel. Good value tire for the money.

I recently purchased an XSR700 to use as a daily commuter on the bumpy streets of San Francisco. With my 140 pounds on board, the bike handled horribly on bumps and sharp edges. It would pitch violently back and forth on bumps and I felt like I had to constantly watch the road to avoid giving the bike a jolt. The stock front tire would track into even the smallest groove or indentation in the pavement as well. The stock suspension is horrible on these bikes, but I had no idea how much the handling would be improved simply by switching the stock tires to the Shinko 705. The Shinko soaks up those hard edges so the inferior suspension doesn't need to work as hard. The Shinkos are taller and I believe the added rake/trail has helped to stabilize the bike so I'm not getting that rocking horse back and forth reaction anymore. If you plan to use your XSR on bumpy roads, do yourself a favor and throw on a set of Shinko 705s!

as good as it gets for 70/30 tires on a budget. More than enough for my off-road skill level on a klr650.

Second set of these Shinkos. I didn't mean to buy the fat tire cheater this go around but so far it's holding up really well being that it is super soft rubber. The fat tire works wonders in the deep sand.
