Thanks for starting the great thread, Keith.
I got 13,000 miles of good wear from the Shinko, 244 rear tire in size 5.10-17. This tire performs very well on pavement.
The tire also performs well while riding off road on gravel roads, dirt roads, and fire roads, as long as the dirt is not muddy.
Here is a photograph of the Shinko, 244 rear tire after 13,000 miles of wear. I replaced the tire with another Shinko, 244 rear tire, size 4.60-17.
