Best Value for Big ADV Bikes.
I figured it's about time I wrote a review for the Shinko 804/805. I've been using these tires on my 2017 V-strom650XT for more than a year. With 13,000km on my front and 7,000km on my rear they are nearing the end of their life. They've handled two up fully loaded for camping ADV trips, corner carving, highway pounding, and off road riding through things that they internet has deemed "not doable" for a V-Strom650. I love these tires.
Does this tire handle like a stock radial street tire? No. Does this tire handle like a intense full nobby tire? No.
The only thing I would change on this tire is the lateral traction on the rear tire. When in clay/mud it does have a tendency to wander if you have a heavy throttle hand; get up on those pegs, keep two fingers on that clutch and be ready to trim power.
It is pleasantly quiet and smooth on the road while proving lots of grip off road.
Does it handle well enough for everything I do? Yes. Is it a super cheap tire? Yes.
Would I buy anything else? Not a chance.

Great 50/50 tires
I prefer these over the TKC80. They wear more evenly (as opposed to wearing flat on the TKC). Don't expect much more than 5000km out of the rear tire (like on most 50/50 tires) but aside from that, they are really great both on and offroad. The only place they could use a bit more grip is in real slippery mud, but otherwise, for me they perform better at everything else over the TKC for a fraction of the price. I've gone through probably 8-9 sets of these, and never had any problems at all.

Ideal 50/50 Tire
About 1000km in on my set of 805/804 Shinkos and I gotta say I really do love them for the 50/50 balance riding i've been doing. Very quiet on road, I don't even notice them, confident in them while cornering and have been decent in the rain.
Like others said you won't get much lateral grip on these but most of the trails I get to ride are quad trails where you're never able to take any turns fast and you're mostly battling lake-like puddles. Comfortable 70-80km/h on dirt roads and I'm sure that can be pushed by the right rider.
Overall love them and chances are I will buy them again.

Great Tire
I bought this tire from Canadian Motorcycle about a month ago. It Is really good in the gravel and gives me an extra boost of confidence on the loose gravel . Shinko 805 likes the pavement as well .Touched the pins leaning on a corner with 650 KLR . Have not tried on wet pavement yet because i don"t like the rain .
The factory tires that came with bike lasted 2500 kms . I hope to get as many kms as reported in reviews on Shinko .About 3 times , or more kms. The price was very good and will probably replace front tire with Shinko 804 in a few months.

Best tire. Best value
This is my second set of Shinkos on my 2014 Super Tenere 1200. They last long, they are comfortable on the highway, love gravel and dirt. Confidence inspiring and reliable.
I will buy them again.

Better than stock!
Night and day difference over the stock KLR rear tire. Rear is planted now on gravel and loose surfaces and surprisingly it holds a corner on pavement with no indication the side blocks will fold over. With 1000 kms of mixed hard pack/gravel/asphalt riding its showing virtually no wear. Only complaint I have is that at the massive top end speeds that the KLR is able to achieve the back will start to squirm around.
Going to order the front and run them as a pair.

Great for 2014 Vstrom 1000
I have finally found a set of tires that will last. And all around great tire . Sand,mud,wet,dry! I'm impressed so far. One full season with these on. Already bought a new rear tire for the spring.

Questions
I was wondering with the shinko 805, which option is the tubeless option for the size 150/70-17? Going on a BMW F850 GS.
That size isn't offered as a tube type for this tire. It only comes as a tubeless but you can still put in a tube with that one.

What does the TT/TL/MC stand for at the end of the tire size?
TT = tube type tire
TL = tubeless tire
MC = the tire is for motorcycles

Is the 150/70 18 tubeless? I have a ktm 1090 adventure r
Yes, the 150/70B18 size is tubeless
Date published: 2023-03-23
Is the 150/70B17 a tubeless tire?
Yes, the tire is tubeless. If it is a tube type tire, it will have "TT" after the tire size

I want to run this on the back of my 390 duke, what 17” front should I pair it with the conti tk? Or should I get a set of the 705’s? I want confidence on smooth hwy, but mostly ride smooth to rough tar and chip roads,, gravel and fire roads & some trails
I've been running a Shinko 805 rear with a tkc80 front for the last two tire changes. Awesome setup on gravel and light trails, gives up nothing on dry asphalt, and I'm confident with this setup in the rain. Decent on the highway, if its noisy I've never noticed.

Will the 130/80-17 Tubeless option work with a tube on a 2023 KTM Adventure 390?
You can use tubes on a tubeless tire.
