I have a set coming this week. Props to Shinko for stepping up to build the miracle tires we've been hoping for, and making them quite affordable, too. They could have gouged us, but didn't.
Maybe not the best name product, but they are the correct size ZR, and they can't be selling that many of them to make much profit from a small market.

I don't think my shop ran into any problems getting mine mounted.

What tire pressures is everyone running (w/ Shinkos)? Mine seem to have almost squared off some, in relatively short time, and they were sufficiently aired up (~40psi / ~2.75bar).

Otherwise, so far, so good. They seem a little numb towards the shoulder, but maybe that's just me. Heck, I'm just happy to be riding around on 16s, instead of having to figure out a 17" conversion ...
Just because you're not dead doesn't necessarily mean you're living, either.
