- MOTOTREK reviews Shinko's new 804 and 805 Series Adventure Trail tires. We rode them on the highway, back roads and the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route and found out just how much abuse they can take.

The Mitas E10s are $200 just for the rear tire, the Shinkos are half that price. Wear is similar for both tires, this makes Shinkos a no-brained. Shinkos spoon on pretty easy also.
They slide a bit in the mud is a understatement. One of the worst tires for mud. Small mud patches is fine, but any long stretch of mud you will see your bike slide and dive for the ground very fast. I could not keep my bike up right for more then ten feet in the mud as the bike would slide out front and rear at the same time. In all other conditions the tire is great.
...before embarking on my 2017 summer ADV ride of nearly 8,000 miles I equipped my R1200GS with a set of Shinko 804/805, shocked at the low cost! I installed Ride-On tire sealant in each tire to Ride-On factory recommendation for ADV riding as extra element of protection against puncture but also to ensure really perfect tire balance (this proved to very important BTW). The tires really were smooth on the highway, the rubber heating up nicely and showing themselves surprisingly sticky and neutral handling. Having said that there was a limit to their adhesion and they gave ample notice that they were at that limit allowing time to adjust... Two big negatives are the tire is only rated for 99mph (roughly 159kph) and when worn and cupping in the front, it is quite wearing to ride on the road - vibration and noise... There were times where I clicked 110mph passing a particularly annoying senior citizen who was rather insistent on NOT letting me pass - in the middle of bloody Nowhere no less... I felt a bit nervous for a few moments, imagining my entrails hanging from the speed limit sign for all to admire... The tires held just fine! At one point I was even two up with very full panniers, huge top case and with camping gear, topping close to 1,000 pounds (around 453kg) - moving along at 70mph, the tires performed perfectly... On this same adventure, I also did nearly 500miles of fast fire road, logging road and BLM access roads and I was SO hugely glad I had equipped these as my previous, less off-roadee Pirelli's would have ended me in places the Shinko's shined! Without doubt, the best value in serious off-road feet for the R1200GS!
Best value ADV tire out there. They work great in the desert.
I’ve been running the 804/805 combo on my VStrom for years and it is phenomenal on road and off. I get 3k miles out of the rear and about twice that from the front. Most of my riding is fully loaded for 7-10 day camping trips.😊
The background music makes it difficult to pay attention to what you are saying.
Totally agree.
Love love LOVE my 804/805 combos on my Tiger 800 XCa. Great to see BMW riders that don't poopoo the "STINKO's" as many B riders have called mine. Yes, lateral control is the only minus IMO. If they to offset the blocks a bit it would make them PERFECT but shhhhh...if everyone wants them they'll shoot to $450 a pair like the mighty TKC80s. LOL.
Can you tell me how they handle on streets with snow/slush/ice?... looking to ride year-round in Seattle and Bremerton.
I’ve got these on my Rally Raid CB500X. They’ve held up great and work well on dirt, sand, gravel, rocks you name it. I’ve even ridden them on snow and ice, although I wouldn’t recommend that on any non studded tire. I agree with Paul that they lack lateral stability in slick mud. Great review!
Thanks for a good review of these, you were the instrument responsible for me purchasing these!.. Looking forward to these on my 1200GS.
Yupper. Bought these about 4000km ago for my KLR and have reached exactly the same conclusions. Tough, ride well on all surfaces ... except mud (and occasionally loose, dusty stuff) . Not terrible by any stretch, but they do sashay a little. Thought the same thing about alternating the blocks near the sidewall. Would help lock them in quite a bit.
Just put mine on yesterday. Still a great deal near the end of 2021
I can agree I have a set on my 08 KLR and love them. I’m thinking of getting a set for my 16 Tenere. For the price it’s hard to beat them and they spoon on and balance so nice!! Like you say I would rather go though 2 sets of these than pay the price of other tires. Thanks for the review.
Thank you I've made up my mind I'm putting a set on the Africa twin this weekend
Staggering the knobs would be a good thing to do for sure to prevent the lateral sliding in mud. Great review.
Wow, great production quality. You got yourself a new subscriber
The 705 is a great 80/20 too for those with modest dirt needs; especially naked/standard and scramblers were gravel roads are common.
almost $300 before taxes and sipping today November 20, 2021.....Great review, thank you!
i love your skills videos...
