Shinko – SR550 Tire (Front/Rear)

Overview

Classic scooters require classic style. The SR550 whitewall fulfills this requirement.

Key Features

• 4-ply rating
• DOT Approved
• Available in white wall only

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.
• 5 sizes in the range, so there is a good chance your exact fitment is covered rather than close-enough.
• White wall finish done properly, which is harder to source than it should be for period-correct builds.

Why You’d Like It

• You want a dependable street tire without paying flagship-brand money for it.
• It fits 10-inch wheels.
• The range mixes tubeless and tube-type sizes, so match the spec to your wheel rather than assuming.
• The same tire works front or rear, which keeps spares simple if you run a matched set.
• Pricing runs $55.21 to $66.26 depending on size.
