Shinko 700's for NC700?

[Eric]

I'm looking for a more off road capable tire than my current Shinko 705's (80% on-road, 20% off-road) The Shinko 700's are listed as 60% on-road, 40% off-road, but they don't have sizes that work for the NC700.

I know there are many NC riders who run the 705 and like that tire a lot and I'm thinking if the 700 tire were available Shinko's would be a nice, low cost alternative to TKC80 or K60 tires.

Question, How can we get Shinko to make 700's to fit the NC700?

Try the 805

The 5.10 17 Shinko 700's would be a good option at least for the front due to them being tubeless but they're pretty narrow to be rear tire's so I'd go with an 805 on the rear and a 700 on the front. The 5.10 is slightly larger in diameter but only by a little bit so you'll need to raise the fender but you probably don't need to put fork extensions on like I had to do.

I realize I'm a little late commenting on the thread but hopefully this helps you out.
