The Shinko Group began production of bicycle tires in February 1946 in Osaka, Japan. Over the following decades Shinko broadened its line into additional rubber products but it wasn't until 1998 that Shinko began manufacturing motorcycle tires. Shinko purchased the motorcycle tire technology and molds from Yokohama Rubber Co. and started production of motorcycle tires under the Shinko Tires brand. Today, Shinko Tires produces up to 200,000 tires a month for sport bikes, cruisers, dirt bike and dual-sport. Shinko Tires also developed a sophisticated tire technology incorporated into their Shinko Radial Steel Belted motorcycle tires. The innovative structure provides zero-degree steel belted technology which reduces the weight and dynamic deformation of the tire while providing excellent high speed stability. Shinko Tires is the exclusive tire for Continental Motorcycle. MotoSport has an extensive catalog of Shinko motorcycle tires for a variety of riding applications that offer incredible performance and usability along with a desired price point that makes them a high value product.
