Shinko Tyres

The classic cruiser tyre is what I am looking to replace my aging stock tyres as it has that everlasting classic look I seek for my bobber. Apparently, for my stock front and rear rim size of 80/90 and 160/80, the best value for money tyres are the "Shinko" brand, made in South Korea. From the table above, it shows the tyre size I should seek is 5.00-16 (speed symbol:S) for both front and rear rims. From past experience and practical reasons, I prefer the black and not the white wall version. They are also slightly cheaper than normal tyres as they are not designed for high speed which I do not mind, after all, I never exceed 120kph and my usual fastest speed is 110kph. They sell for RM625/unit mail-order (not including transportation cost) and RM623/unit off-the-shelf sold in the adjacent town where I live.
