I got some SHINKO 241s 2.75/17.,
from Revzilla. I might send them back. They are great about returns , but have been a little slower getting orders out lately. I ordered some from Midwest Traction,same size with a better speed rating and 50/50 tread.I have to check what actually they are,but the SHINKO 241 seemed very weak after already having a new SHINKO 244 in garage that matches one I have on rear. They are a very stout tire,
but add to much roll resistance on the road. I think I put it on about 3000 miles ago,still about 1/8 or more tread in middle, plenty on sides,most all roads. I do not think the 241s would last half that and would be more prone to flats. 244s are great if you are not going where there are cars or steep hills to climb. I am in mountains in Virginia, the highest part. Rub in back when brand new,and you gotta move the front fender up.
