Motorcycle tire shopping usually starts with which two tires will work together on your bike. The four sets here split into three different size pairings, so the first filter is matching your front and rear wheel sizes, and the second is what the tires are built to do.
Quick take
Two of these sets ride on 17-inch wheels, one is a 16-inch front-and-rear pairing, and the fourth combines a 19-inch front with a 16-inch rear. The Continental Conti Motion and the Shinko 005 Advance are the 17-inch options; the Dunlop D404 is the all-16-inch set; and the Shinko 777 is the mixed-size cruiser set. Once you know which pairing fits your bike, the decision comes down to riding style and listed price.
Listed-price comparison
The four sets list from USD 212.98 to USD 314.98, a spread of about USD 102. The bars below show where each set's listed price falls within that range, not how good the tires are.
| Set | Listed price | Price position |
|---|---|---|
| Continental Conti Motion 120/70ZR17 + 190/50ZR17 | USD 212.98 | |
| Shinko 777 100/90-19 + 130/90B16 | USD 245.57 | |
| Shinko 005 Advance 120/70ZR17 + 200/50ZR17 | USD 287.90 | |
| Dunlop D404 130/90B16 + 150/80B16 | USD 314.98 |
Decision matrix
Here is a quick way to separate the group by construction and riding focus.
| Set | Construction | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Shinko 005 Advance | Radial, aramid belted | Sport fitment with a wide 200/50 rear |
| Dunlop D404 | Bias-ply, H-rated, TL | 16-inch street riding and load-carrying comfort |
| Continental Conti Motion | Radial, steel-belted rear | All-season sport touring |
| Shinko 777 | Aramid belted, HD reinforced carcass | Cruiser grip and comfort |
Product notes
New Shinko 005 Advance Motorcycle Tire Set (120/70ZR-17 + 200/50ZR-17)
This is the sport-radial choice in the group. The set combines a 120/70ZR-17 front with a 200/50ZR-17 rear, with a large block tread pattern for braking, cornering, and acceleration and grooves designed to shed water on wet roads. The construction uses aramid belts and carries a W speed rating. The rear is a wide 200/50, so this set is for bikes already running that section width. Wheels are not included, so you are getting exactly two tires.
Dunlop D404 130/90B16 + 150/80B16 Tire Set
The Dunlop D404 is the only bias-ply set in the comparison. It pairs a 130/90B16 front with a 150/80B16 rear, both H-rated and TL. Bias-ply construction supports load-carrying capacity and ride comfort, and the offset center groove helps straight-line stability on long rides. That makes it a sensible match for a 16-inch street motorcycle used for distance riding. It is made in the United States. Note that the D404 is not recommended for Harley Davidson motorcycles, so riders on other 16-inch street bikes are the intended audience.
Continental Conti Motion 120/70ZR17 + 190/50ZR17 Set
The Continental Conti Motion is a sport-touring radial set with a 120/70ZR17 front, a 190/50ZR17 rear, and Blackwall styling. This is an all-season option, with a steel-belted rear for stability and a compound designed for long wear and reliable feedback in dry and wet conditions. It is a clean match for 17-inch wheels built around the 120/70 front and 190/50 rear pairing. Riders whose bikes use different front or rear sizes will need to look elsewhere.
Shinko 777 100/90-19 + 130/90-16 Tire Set
The Shinko 777 HD set is the cruiser pick, combining a 100/90-19 front with a 130/90B16 rear. The rubber compound is meant for grip and comfort, the siped tread handles wet and dry traction, and the heavy-duty reinforced carcass adds a planted feel. The tires are aramid belted and made in South Korea. The trade-off is fitment: the 19-inch front and 16-inch rear pairing suits cruisers already set up with those two wheel diameters rather than a universal size set.
Final recommendation
Start by checking wheel sizes. For 17-inch sport-touring wheels, the Continental Conti Motion set at USD 212.98 is the least expensive pairing here. If your bike needs the wider 200/50 rear, the Shinko 005 Advance set at USD 287.90 is the sport-radial route. Cruiser riders with a 19-inch front and a 16-inch rear should look at the Shinko 777 at USD 245.57. And riders on 16-inch street bikes who want a US-made bias-ply set - provided they are not on a Harley Davidson - can choose the Dunlop D404 at USD 314.98.
