Seems Shinko makes quite a few different sport bike tire models - Shinko 003 Stealth, Shinko 009 Raven and Shinko 005 Advance. From my short research, it looks like the 003 is more track, 009 more sport-touring and the 005 is something in between. The 009 should last wear the longest, but not might give as much grip as the 003 or 005.
So I'm trying to figure out which ones are the best match for aggressive street riding. The Shinko 005 Advance certainly has a lot of good review write-ups, mostly 5-stars ratings from customers.

I think I'll get a set of Shinko 005s and give them a shot ... the price is right, and they also make a 190/50-17 and a 200/50-17 to chose from for the rear.
