Shinko – SR714 Tire (Front/Rear)

Overview

Designed as OEM replacements for moped models.

Key Features

• 4-ply rating
• DOT Approved
• Moped fitment

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 P (93 mph), so the rating is not the limiting factor on most bikes it fits.

Why You’d Like It

• You want a dependable street tire without paying flagship-brand money for it.
• It fits 16- through 17-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 $39.91 to $72.21 depending on size.
