Greg Herbold Miyata tyre -anyone seen these before??

[Bollox64]

Googled but found NADA on these.

It says Greg Herbold, and also Miyata, and I think Tune Herbold.
Moulded in the sidewall it says (Edit, I originally wrote Toya) Shinko Rubber Co.

Seem to be front and rear specific

Re:

...seems to be a Greg Herbold edition of a (for me) unknown tyre.

Haven't seen them before, but as Greg is a living legend they're definitely retro and worth to keep...

Re: Re:

Now that I saw they were Shinko, I Googled a bit more. Found one reference on a Japanese site. Seem to be as rare as rocking horse sh%t!

Re:

Now imagine this is eBay. You'd get feck all views.

Get your title right and put.

Greg Herbold Miyata
in it somewhere where the browsers who know about the circa 1990 and Herbold on his fabulous Miyata frames will gravitate in.

The Miyata Elev2K and Elev5K under this link have the tires fitted. The testers spend a few words on them

They have never been std equipement on Koga Miyatas.

...Until '93, when they appear to have been standard equipment on all MTB models from Elevation 12000 down to Elevation 2000

Re:

Yes, on Miyatas. Panaracer and later Continental was the std spec for Koga Miyata MTB's.


There also existed a kevlar variation:
