Tires KENDA or DEBICA

If you go with the cheaper of the two options, get the Kenda Kozmik's. They're similar to the Michelin City Grips and have the same dual compound tread. I've never had any problems with them and they've lasted well over 6000 miles, they hold the road in wet weather and do okay in light snow.

Kenda tyres also in Australia and these aren’t a cheap crappy brand. The R/T & M/T have a very durable casing and are good value for money

Kenda kraiser KR20As are a great tire, wear kinda fast, but cheap to replace makes a good difference, or federal 595rs RR love this tire hooks all the time for me

Would definitely recommend either of these to anyone. Dual sport is the way to go and these 2 give a more offroad vs more on road choice.

I wrecked hard on gravel with stock tires, went with Kenda big blocks and got all my confidence back. Little different on the road, would only recommend if you do more off road riding.

I can recommend Kenda Big Blocks, they’ve been great on every surface I’ve been on. I’ve done 4800km trip over two weeks and they held up ok. They lasted about 9000km in total.

Cheap Kenda tires will be heavy and not made terribly well. Not to the point of being unsafe, but there is a noticeable difference in performance between a cheap Kenda tire and something like a Continental race king or Vittoria mezcal.

So here is an update on the Kenda klever RT. Smooth rolling down highway speeds. Compared to MT’s they are pretty quiet wind noise drowns out the sound for the most part. Rainy weather they handle pretty good. Didn’t effect gas mileage none dash still says 19-20mpg. Snow handling……….it’s a 50/50 on that. I feel as if they are a bit looser then others I’ve ran but hold their own.

On my '16 RT, the dealer installed a new set of Kenda KM1 sport touring tires when they prepped it to sell. I've put a couple hundred miles on the tires now, and I'm not crazy about them. Above 55mph, the entire bike feels like it's "squirming" slightly. You can feel a little instability in your hands, almost like you're riding on a highway with rain grooves.

For rears, Ironman Imove or Accelera PHI. Kendas are overrated.
