shinko

Does anyone out there have any experience with Shinko tyres, with particular reference to the race slicks? They seem to be a hell of a lot cheaper than the other mainstream brands and given the amount of track days im doing im burning through slicks and of course $$$. Any information is...

If Shinko made tyres that fitted the 1199..like Ravens for instance.. we all know they would be waaay cheaper than the SuperCorsas and probably last much longer too... so ... would you buy them?? I only know of a couple of guys who have used Shinkos and they have been happy with them...
