Anyone running this combo?  Any ideas/opinions?  I am going to need to replace my ME880s soon and these are attractively priced at $160/pair shipped to my door!  The CFO would like that!  I have never had Shinko branded tires, though.  If they only last 5,000 miles then that's kind of a false economy. 

OK...
Spill. where do you get them for $160 to your door, don't be shy med.
Ride safe all.

Oh, I won't be shy. The price is from Motorcycle Superstore.com. There is a thread on right mow about what I would call **** poor customer service, but I have had no experience with that. The single time I ordered from them was for my Elite 3s. Ordered on a Saturday afternoon and had them Monday morning. Anyway.......

I have never ran Shink on anything, and honestly I'm not sure what the mileage is like with these tires. I don't mind a 10-12k tire, but I'm not going to put a 3-5k mileage class tire on my bike. Do you think I can call Shinko and ask?

I don't know about either one of those Shinko tires but me and several others have ran the Shinko 777 on the rear.  I've had no problems with mine and I've got close to 12K on it now and still have a few miles left on it.  I bought another one to replace it already.  It's cheaper than the SR734 you are looking at too and I also think the tread design of the 777 is better looking.  I was considering the Shinko Verge for the front but I read a review on the tread life somewhere that turned me off on that one.
