Well, as a third data point I have 13,000 miles on a front Shinko Raven and it is definitely NOT my preferred tires for twisties. I can do 80-90% of other tires buy they are not the most confidence inspiring leaned over. Still, that tire has a few thousand miles left so they definitely get the nod for long life. They are not bad in the twisties, just not as good as the Dunlop RS4 or Michelin PR4GT I would normally run.

The 45 mph bar shake gets noticeably worse as they age (as most tires do) but it is currently about the worst of any tire I have run. But I know there are several variables contributing to that.

I would probably run one again. Especially for boring interstate trips when trying to get somewhere.
