Shinko – Super Classic 270 Tire (Front/Rear)

Overview

The 270 features a classic, full aspect ratio sawtooth design.

Key Features

• Nylon carcass for extended wear with a classic appearance
• Available in BLACK WALL and WHITE WALL (W/W)

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.
• Top speed rating in this range is H (130 mph), so the rating is not the limiting factor on most bikes it fits.
• 8 sizes covering 16- through 21-inch wheels unusually broad fitment, which is why it turns up on so many different builds.
• White wall finish done properly, which is harder to source than it should be for period-correct builds.

Why You’d Like It

• You put real miles on a cruiser or tourer and care more about mileage and straight-line stability than lap times.
• It fits 16- through 21-inch wheels the range is wide, so check your sidewall before ordering.
• 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 $128.31 to $182.71 depending on size.
