Replacing Rear Tire, Shinko Backordered

[MossBerg590]

Ended up getting a decent size hole in my rear tire but thankfully it happened right before I pulled into my driveway. Threw some wood under the frame so it didnt tip after the tire went flat. Was planning on buying a 300 Shinko, found one for $268, but was back ordered. Shinko said mid July. Prices increased everywhere to $358 for Shinko and still on backorder, Shinko said this morning mid to late November.
I am going to just pay the extra bit for an Avon, $448 from Summit Racing. Anyone else know of any better deals? Also what is the best currently available jack that will fit under an 06 Ridgeback?

Buy the Avon.

Buddy only got 2,000 miles out of one on his K9.

Same here, I have been waiting all year, emailing Shinko distributer. It keeps getting delayed. I’m down to threads so bit the bullet and got the Avon. $450 is about best you can find.

i put a Shinko on my 09 bagger and it only lasted 2,500 miles, also I'm very diligent about running the proper air pressure. So never again for me on the Shinko front. I replaced them with Metzelers and am very happy with them.
