This will be the second set of them I run out on the C90. They are meaty and soft, and don't last more than 10k mi. But, they handle great.

Sounds like a fun trip coming up so I hope they give you many safe happy miles. My 800 needs new tires front and back. So it is time to park it till I can come up with the money for a new Shinko 712 Front Tire 100/90H-19/Blackwall for $50 and a Dark Side (Car Tire) Nexen 165/80R15 for the rear at around $63.

Got 17,000 miles out of them on my C50....I am guilty of being the kind of person who continuously tries different tires looking for something better....The only tire I have EVER repeat purchased are Pirelli MT66....To me they have the perfect blend of price/quality....I tried a set of Shinko's on my sporty due to great pricing and although I like the price and grip, the longevity is subpar, wear is very uneven, and at just over 5000 miles are beginning to develop a high speed bounce...So my next set for the sporty will be MT66 (bike should be at around 21,000 miles and should be around October if I can swing the money)....Going back to what I feel are tried and true, high quality, longer lasting, reasonably priced tires..........I will likely be done with the shopping around after that.........

I have them on both of my MCs. I like them a lot. Better than the tires I had, although, not a fair comparison because the tires I replaced were really too old to ride on.
