Product Information
Full details
The Shinko E705 Rear TL 72H 170/60R17" Tyre is designed for riders seeking a versatile tyre for both on-road and light off-road adventures. Its key benefit is offering excellent on-road performance with an off-road tread pattern, allowing for a broad range of use. However, it is primarily designed for predominantly on-road applications, meaning extreme off-road conditions may not be its optimal use case. This tyre provides a balanced solution for dual-purpose motorcycling.

Troubleshooting
Tyre pressure drops significantly
Inspect the tyre bead for a proper seal against the rim. Check for any punctures, cuts, or embedded objects in the tread or sidewall. Ensure the valve stem is securely fastened and not leaking.
Vibration or uneven wear pattern
Ensure the tyre was properly balanced during installation. Check for road hazards that may have caused localized damage. Rotate the tyre if possible and consult a professional for assessment.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Verify tyre pressure is within the recommended range. Ensure tread depth is adequate. Be cautious and reduce speed on wet roads, as any tyre's grip is reduced in wet conditions.
