Best Sport Motorcycle Tires of 2026

"I took my cruiser on a 4-hour trip with these tires and it felt like I was riding a brand new bike. The shipping was fast, and the price and performance were both excellent."

"After putting these tires on my 2009 1200 Sportster, I noticed a much smoother ride and better handling compared to the stock Harley tires. Definitely happy with the upgrade."

"I replaced my old tire on the BMW R 1200CLC with this one, even though it’s technically a rear tire. As long as you adjust the rotation direction, it mounts up nicely. The ride is smooth with no need for balancing—really impressed."

"I love the great value of these tires—it's tough to beat the affordable price. The delivery was super quick, and I'll definitely order from here again!"

"Switching from my old Michelin to the Shinko SR777 HD made a huge difference—the fatter tire gives me a more relaxed, comfortable ride and the bike feels way more stable and responsive in corners. Looks and performance both improved!"

"This tire delivers a softer tread for better road grip and handles beautifully. Balances well and I'd absolutely buy it again for my bike."

"After replacing my 2004 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic's tire with this one, I noticed outstanding road grip and durability. The installation was straightforward, but I learned that even 'tubeless' tires might require a tube. Overall, I'm confident this tire will serve me well for a long time."

"I put these on my 2012 Vulcan 1700, replacing the original Bridgestones. At first, I experienced a bit of shaking, but after a few miles, the tires handled smoothly and felt more stable than the originals. The performance for the price is unbeatable, and I now consider myself a loyal Shinko customer."

"As someone who mounts their own tires, I found this tire to be sturdy with a thick wall, making installation a bit tough by hand. Visually and performance-wise, it's similar to my Michelin Commander 3, and I appreciate the quick shipping and value. I hope it outlasts my old Pirelli Rt66, which had sidewall issues."

"I purchased this tire to update my older 1986 HD FXRS. The quality seems high for the price, and while some mention quicker tread wear, I replace my tires based on age anyway. Mine was made in Korea, not China, which I’m fine with. Looking forward to seeing how it performs after some miles."

"After switching to this tire on my Yamaha Bolt, the handlebar shake was almost completely eliminated. The ride is smoother, grip is better, and it handles rain well. It definitely outperforms the original zig-zag tread tire."

"This tire offers much more grip than the stock Dunlops on my Dyna. For the price, I’m really happy with the performance and durability so far."

"After mounting these tires on my 2019 Kawasaki Z900RSC, I immediately noticed the improved grip, smooth handling, and confidence on both highway and mountain roads. The tires were freshly manufactured and installation was easy. Even after 200 miles, they've performed flawlessly. I haven't tried them in the rain yet, but so far, they're easily the best value I've found and I highly recommend them."

"I switched to these from Dunlops on my 2011 Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX and have been impressed with their all-weather performance, including excellent grip in wet and cold conditions. The tires are quiet, comfortable, and have handled triple-digit speeds with ease. For the price, I don't think there's a better sport touring tire out there. They're definitely more touring-oriented, but I’m still extremely satisfied even after thousands of miles."

"These are the best handling tires I've ever had—I can scrape the pegs in any weather and still maintain perfect traction! The price was unbeatable, shipping was fast, and they were easy to install by myself. I couldn't be happier with this purchase and would give them more than five stars if I could!"

"After putting over 10,000 miles on these tires with my touring bike, carrying a heavy load and riding two-up, I’m impressed by the tread life and performance. Even after catching a nail, the tire held up with no air loss. I’ll definitely buy again, maybe even try the H.D. version next time."

"I chose this tire for my Harley Street Glide mainly because of the price and positive reviews. After a 1,300-mile trip to Thunderbeach Rally, the tire performed wonderfully without any issues. The grip is really good, and while it might wear a bit faster, I feel confident and safe. Would recommend."

"At first, I was upset about how quickly the tire wore out—it was done after around 7,000 kilometers on my tuned 2000cc Harley, which I ride pretty aggressively. But after talking to friends, I realized this tire is supposed to be sticky for better grip, which explains the faster wear. I’ve never had it slide out, so safety makes it worth it."

"I’ve logged over 700 miles in just two weeks and these tires have provided excellent traction and a smooth ride. They match the specs of pricier brands but cost about $80 less. After this much use, there are minimal signs of wear—really impressed so far."

"I’ve used these on several bikes now, including my Sporty and Wide Glide. They get the same mileage as premium brands—around 8,000 miles per set—and offer great grip, even in the rain. Shinko really nailed it with these; I’m already on my fourth set and have no complaints."

"The value for money is unbeatable. I’ve tried many brands, and these perform just as well for a much lower price. They were simple to mount and balance, especially with the dot lined up at the valve stem. Too early to judge the longevity, but so far, so good."

"Living in Florida, I often ride in unpredictable weather. The Kenda tires have impressed me with their outstanding grip on both wet and dry roads. After over 1000 miles, they still handle corners beautifully and show minimal wear. The price-to-quality ratio is unbeatable, and I'm planning to use Kenda on my other bikes as well."

"After switching from a Metzeler 888 to these, I noticed an immediate improvement. The Kenda tire offers fantastic stability and wears evenly even on my heavy cruiser. The break-in period was short, and the grip is solid despite the harder rubber. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another—excellent performance for the cost."

"I've used these tires on several bikes for a decade now and they consistently outlast more expensive brands. Even when underinflated, the ride remains smooth and reliable. For me, this is the best motorcycle tire when it comes to durability and value."

"I've been impressed with these tires—they've given me over 10,000 miles of reliable performance, and I love the way they look on my bike. The traction is outstanding, even on wet roads, and for the price, they're pretty much unbeatable."

"After putting these on my Road King Special, I noticed much better handling and stability compared to my previous tires. Tar snakes and grooves are no longer an issue, and while I only expect about 6,000 miles from them, the ride quality makes it worth it."

"I installed these tires on my 2018 HD Ultra, and after 5,000 miles, they're holding up well. I anticipate getting another few thousand miles out of them, and the wet traction has really impressed me."

"I was looking to avoid overpriced tires and this one is perfect! The grip is fantastic and it looks sharp on my bike. The best part? The price can't be beat!"

"After installing this tire, I immediately noticed how smooth the ride feels—much better than my old tire. I've only put about 10 miles on it so far, but I'm really happy with the upgrade."

"The traction on this tire is outstanding, and installation was a breeze. It seems quite durable, and I'm hopeful that it'll last a long time."
