Shinko 006 Podium
Any reviews from a NC30 rider on the Podium tires?
I found that they are good for the street, but not recommended for the track ??? the tires are going on my track bike.
I can get 090 or Alpha 12 here in Japan, but they are very expensive over $400. I can get the Shinkos for less than half if I order them from the US, about $170 for a set.
I was very close to buy a set of HRC magnesium wheels for the VFR but this 18" wheel is not helping my tire situation

Re: Shinko 006 Podium
After more research, the tires are not recommended for the track, I'm going with what I know Bridgestones... I got a front 003 medium for the front and a 090 for the back.
