Good 50/50
These fit my DRZ400sm and give me lots of grip in the dirt and ride nice on the highway. I ride a rally every year and went some crazy muddy places this year, up streams and all around muddy logging roads and had no issues with grip. I rode 4 hours on the highway to get there and had no issues on the pavement.

I love these tires
They don't exactly have a long life expectancy (daily commuter, and seasonal off-roader, replacing rear every year), but are inexpensive, soft and pliable, responsive in the loose stuff and are a breeze to install and repair. Completely satisfied.

A true 50/50 tire
I installed the Shinko 244 on my DRZ400 and am satisfied with the purchase for "my" needs which are commuting and weekend dirt roads comprising of gravel and some deep mud.
If you buy these remember that a Dual Sport bike and it's tires are always a compromise between road and dirt, so don't push the limits of either and you'll be perfectly safe.
Btw super fast delivery.

Affordable and dependable
I've used this model of tire on my KLR for a number of years and have always been impressed overall. I ride about 80/20 on/off and I find that it serves my purposes quite well. On-road the rear is fairly confidence-inspiring even in moderately spirited twisties, and on loose surfaces it's predictable. I find the front a little squirrelly on loose gravel and wet pavement compared to the TKC80.
Mileage-wise I can generally squeak out 10-15K Km on a rear and double on a front.

I'm on my second set of Shinko 244 tires. After 7000 km the rear tire was too worn for off-road use, but I would have kept using it if I only rode on the road. The front tire still had a lot of depth left but the knobs were a bit rounded, and at this price it's not hard to justify a replacement.
The only place these tires don't really cut it is in the mud. The knobs are pretty close together, so they get packed up with mud pretty quickly.

Great value!
I've gone through many shinko tires over the years (804/805, 705, and a sport tire can't remember the model), they never disappoint. Many assume they are low quality because of the price, but I've never had any issues. It was my first time trying the 244, and sure enough, tires are awesome. I use them on my DR for a mix of paved and dirt/gravel roads. Obviously tires are always compromises, if you're looking for the most aggressive offroad tire for sand and mud, this is not it, but it will handle most offroad conditions very well, and on the road the noise level is reasonable, the handling is neutral and you get plenty of traction. At this price, it's insane bang for the buck. I will certainly buy another set once these are done. I put a 5.10-17 on the rear and 3.00-21 on the front.

Inexpensive do-all tire
This is the third Shinko 244 I've installed on my bikes. It is a good-performing tire that grips well on pavement or dirt.
For what it's worth, I am NOT an aggressive rider.

Questions
Can these fit on tubeless wheels?
Yes, these would work with tubeless wheels.
Date published: 2023-06-04
Do I need a tube for a tubeless rim with these tires?
These are a tube type tire, a tube is always required for install.
Date published: 2020-10-13
what size would fit a 80-100-19
There is no direct conversion, so we cannot guarantee fitment. The 80/100-19 would convert the closest to 3.00/3.25-19.
