Jen finally replaced the stock tires on her 2022 Royal Enfield Himalayan after getting over 3000 miles on them. She replaced the stock tires with the Shinko 804 805 tires, they are a 50/50 tire. In this video Jen reviews the ride on the new set of tires and she is overwhelmingly stoked with them! So if you're having trouble deciding on your next set of tires for your Royal Enfield Himalayan or other motorcycle, have a look at this video. Cheers!

glad to see they are workinng out well.
Just discovered your channel. Great content! You did exceptionally well on that dirt track with those new tyres. It's amazing to see the bike did not let you down even once. The engine didn't lose any steam. (Pardon my english). Loved the video. By the way in India we pronounce CEAT as 'see at'. I am going to watch your other Himalayan videos now. 👍
Appreciate you watching!!
I love the review. I just bought a set for my 22 Royal Enfield Himalayan. I have the Tusk medium bags on mine too. Not the panier type. I subscribed and liked the video. Great reviews
Recently changed tyres on my Himalayan Scram and like yourself I am enjoying the extra traction off road. I have been told the squeaky brakes can be fixed by applying a thin smeer of grease to the back of the brake pads. Hope this helps. Cheers
Enjoy that Scram, looks like a fun bike! Good to know about the grease, might have to give that a shot! Thanks for watching!
@@precipiceofgrind just make sure it is cooper grease for brake pads... not just any grease...
Thanks for the review on them tires great to see your enjoying them
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Glad you liked the tires, I had a feeling those would work best for you. In the mud be careful of lateral movements. The tires are great for what they are but the linear treads can slip sideways in muddy.
Could totally see that, thanks for the heads up!
Just found you and subscribed. I’d been thinking about Shinko tyres! Now I’m convinced and subscribed!
CEAT - SEE + AT
I loved listening and watching. It was fun listening to you discovering new skills. This was a Happy video!
Hi there, I also have a Himi, currently with CEAT tyres (Indian brand std. with the bike). Currently have done about 2700 kms and the tyres are showing little or no wear.
I was very interested to see you chose Shinko tyres back and front as I've been thinking about them for mine. I look forward to hearing how you get on with them.
It's great to hear your confidence grow...
Thanks for the detailed feedback and review, especially on the road... I have a 2023 Scram and was looking to find a good replacement tire... I will def keep these in mind!
Great video and choice in tire!
Jen, great analytical coverage of your purchase choice. Your original tire had a sidewall profile height of 108 mm. Your new one is 104 mm. Lower, as you pointed out, than stock, by less than 1/5 of an inch.
I've run a couple sets of Shinko 244 and 705s in the last 18 months on my REH. I was new to motorcycling when I first put those nobbies on and fell in love with the 705s. Price point is amazing for the Shinkos - I've been reluctant to mount the 800s thinking they're mostly for dirt and not so much slab. Like to know how these hold up for you.
Jen is intending on doing a thousand mile review on the 800s.
CEAT pronounced "See-8". Mine lasted me 12k kms down to bare minimum grip on the XL, but did plenty of off roading. The ceat Grip XL are made of single soft compound hence cheaper and low lifespan. The CEAT Grip X3 has dual compound soft/medium. Great for wet and dry conditions, on and off road.
Another great video. I was gonna go with the 804/805 combo but went with Mitas E07s. Maybe next time. I ended up pulling the CEATs at 800 miles. Three flats in 800 miles was enough to prove to me that they were too soft and the chords patter in the carcass obviously was way to spread out (typical of cheaply made tires). Yeah the airing down thing has gotten out of hand. We only did this back in the day with dirt bikes with tubes and rim locks. Now for some reason we have folks doing it on 600lb adventure bikes with tubeless tires. LOL. If a bike doesn’t have rim locks I don’t air down. Never have never will. :-)
will give those tires a try also. i mainly ride offroad in morocco. liked any subscribed :)
Would also love to know the eventual impact on fuel consumption with the new tires! Congrats on the new ability off-road Jen!
Jen is intending to do a thousand mile review on the 800s, good thing to notice...fuel consumption that is.
@@precipiceofgrind sounds great! Thanks for the reply
Would love to see redo of that Russell Wash or whatever it was called. Tyres are #1 important contact with the surface. I always purchase the bike with my choice of tyres installed before I take delivery.
I had the same issue with the rear brake squeaking... I greased the back of the brake pads with marine grease and haven't had the squeaking problems since.
Awesome, thanks for the tip, I'm going to try that! Thanks for watching!
Great video, I'm looking for these shinko tires and I see they only have the stock size available on TL (tubeless) did you go with the tubeless ones and just put the tubes in or did you find some tubed one in the stock front size. Thanks
Balancearon las llantas al momento de cambiarlas o solo las reemplazaron y a usarlas ? Saludos desde Mexico
Hi, nice review of the tires, can you tell me the tire pressure front and back? I think i heard you talking about 18 psi, is that for front an back?
20 front, 18 rear. Appreciate you watching!
BUEN VIDEO
Gracias por ver!!
Like the vid and will add the tires to my list. As far as air pressure us concerned check Bret Tkacs for air down advice and his 8 tips for first time and new adv riders even if you are experienced. Best wishes and have fun!
Hello are these tubeless or tube tires? The CEAT are tube, just checking as I may get these for my Himmy. Thank you
They are tube tires.
Well 7 Months later what do you think of the tires? I just bought my 2022 Himalayan "Draven"
What are your thoughts on both on road and off road thoughts.
Many thanks
Im happy with them. I had worried the bike wouldn't feel as smooth on the asphalt but it is still smooth riding. I have been more confident riding in sharp rocks now and have noticed the back end doesn't kick out as much in the dirt as it used to. I still haven't really tested them a lot in the mud and am a little worried about the tread orientation in that situation but I'll make a video when I do. Congrats on your bike, you'll love it.
@@precipiceofgrindgreetings from Maine, I'm running Dunlop trailmax missions and have 10 k on them with 4k left, I'm very happy with them and will buy another set, however I am curious as to how many miles you've put on these and how you like them a year out. Thanks, Joe
