Amazing 1-Star tire
This is the best front I've ever run, for the first 10 hours. Now, ALL of the side knobs are coming off, and my friends with the same hours has the same problem. Shinko has an issue here, switching to the Golden Tyre 216 for my next one. I wish F9 carried 'em.

Big tire
Like the tire. The size was shocking when I first seen it. I run tubliss front and rear on my bike. I am running between 5 and 6 psi in this tire. It soaks up a lot of trail trash. Larger rocks like river rock or washouts almost disappear under this tire . It really smooths out the trash. I like it. I did have to speed up my rebound by 2 clicks to make the bike feel the same as it did with other tires I have used.

Awesome
I bought this tire for my 2015 husqvarna te 250.I mounted tire with new Motoz arena hybred on rear.I have Tubliss system at both front and rear.I set front tire at 10 psi and rear at 6. I honestly have never mounted a front tire that transformed the bike so much.I live where there is alot of sand and found tire stayed on top.I also did not find the tire slowed down the steering.It made the front end feel very planted and surefooted in tight single track.I've only put about 6 hrs on tire but find I adapted to it right away.It is a tall tire and seems to find its way over large roots easier and also doesn't deflect as much when hitting stumps etc.All in all tire is amazing and price was low enough to take a chance on it.

Love this tire!
I used to run the Golden Tyre MX216 in the 90/100-21 size. Perfect tire, but harder to get and costly. This one is cheaper, easier to get, and just as perfect. Love the big fat front tires.

Side knobs tearing off
I loved this tire off the start, and it still has lots of tread after 15 hours, EXCEPT, the side knobs are tearing off. The tire is now useless.

Good in the tight stuff
I've been trying out the Shinko brand over the past few riding seasons, and I really like this tire for the more technical, lower speed riding. I find it does a decent job cornering at higher speeds but not as comfortably as some of the other tires I've used in the past.

Awesome Tire
This is identical to the Golden Tyre, which I ran before and loved. This tire is awesome for an off-road/trail Tire. It has fantastic traction and due to its "fat" design it soaks up hits from roots and rocks very well. It is also DOT rated for dual sport applications although it will not likely last very long if used continuously on the pavement.
