I got the Michelin on today and almost cried tears of joy when I ran it up to 50 and let it decelerate down to 35 and it was smooth as butter the whole way. Then I got brave and ran it up to 70 and giggled the whole time as it rolled smooth down the road.
It was a bad tire. No amount of fiddling or futzing was going to fix it. You can say all it needed was to be pulled off the rim and rebalanced, but I've been through this once before with a Vulcan 800 and two shops re balanced that tire before I gave up and got a new new tire.
I'm not saying all Shinkos are bad. Your mileage may vary. But this is the last Shinko I buy.
