A few reviews on these tires:
Trying out a SE 890 Journey, ( Rear) on my 05 wing,installed early October. 13,,,,,, very pleased with all aspects of this tire ,,, the front will be due for replacement sometime early 2014. Will re- post on tread wear later!! So far,, Great ,,
This is my re-post from October. 2013 on the SE 890 journey,,,it's now march, & amazed that there is no evidence of any tread wear, with 3K miles now on the tire! This is two up riding! Other brands would now be showing a flat spot started in the center of the tread!!! The handling is also superb!!! Great tire!
Shinko SE890's on my 2006 GL1800.
Have heard ratings that are radically opposed why I believe what matters is my own. The fact that tire price is not that of the big players is irrelevant when it comes to personal safety, reliability, handling, etc. For me this is where value is. I have not had any of the horrible experiences some claim to call this tire "junk". My experience with 890's is nothing less than EXCELLENT. The cupping, road noise grip among other many other downsides from the OEM tires is what junk really is.
The SE890's grip like glue to the road, noise none, predictable, fantastic control and everything you can expect from a good tire.
I believe that to rate any tire first, the bike must be in tip top condition. In the case of Goldwings, there are many high mileage uncared bike out there that wont make it with whatever tire is put on it much less, with a sticky tire. I say this out of experience as I also ride a BMW K1300GT and hard. My Goldwing with upgraded suspension and solidly maintained I can also ride it hard with the SE890's that I never dreamed possible with the OEM's.
