Shinko is a pretty decent brand but I do have to warn you most of the Shinko's I've bought were sport oriented which means really short tire life. They do grip quite well though.

The Shinko SR568R is what I'm seeing and on Motorcycle Superstore and gets excellent reviews. I've used Shinko's on my sport bikes and on my small scooters before. One of the best budget brands out there.

On scooters though probably like my experience with big bikes and scooters is you get decent grip like the expensive tires, it just doesn't last as long. Reading the review you get a little more than half the life as on a Metzeler Feelfree. So being the Feelfree costs about twice as much but gets almost twice the life, then you have to factor in cost of installation and downtime and the Metzeler might actually be the better option.
