Specific brand of tire question

Hey all, mine is a 2007 Nomad. This winter I will be replacing the tires. I have been running Metzler in the past and now want to try a white wall. Shinko 777 makes them in the stock size so I was hoping to get some feedback from anyone who is running them. I am not shopping price really, I just like the look of the ww. Thanks in advance.

I am running them on my Vaquero front and rear. Only have about 1400 miles on them so far but they seem to hold the road well. As far as long life tread wear I wont know until they are worn out how many miles they will last, but I really like the looks of them on my blue beauty.

Love the Shinko's on Vanessa. Makes her that much sexier.

I used to run Avon Venoms and Cobras on my '06 Nomad and then found the Shinkos last year. Turned out to be half the price for both F+R vs the Avons. I ran them for about 4,000+ miles before trading it in last month. Really liked them and they handled just as well as the Avons and seem to wear about the same. I had the SR777 130/90-16 4PR on the front and 170/70-16 on the back. These are also the stock sizes for the Vaquero so I'll be putting them on it as well. Overall very happy with them and at half the price, it's a no brainer.
