Shinko – 421 Series Scooter Tire (Front/Rear)

Overview

A tough nylon carcass with dimpled knobs provides traction in a variety of terrains. Ideal for mini bikes.

Key Features

• Tough nylon carcass
• Open tread pattern cleans out well in muddy conditions
• DOT approved
• Not intended for extended highway use

Why We Like It

• The bias-ply carcass soaks up surface imperfections better than a radial, and it is a large part of why this tire costs what it does.
• DOT approved, which means it is street legal not a closed-course tire you have to trailer to.
• Top speed rating in this range is J (62 mph), so the rating is not the limiting factor on most bikes it fits.

Why You’d Like It

• You ride off-road and want traction you can feel on loose and broken ground.
• It fits 10-inch wheels.
• These are tube-type, so plan on a fresh tube (and a rim lock if you are running low pressure).
• The same tire works front or rear, which keeps spares simple if you run a matched set.
• Pricing runs $41.61 to $49.26 depending on size.
