Tires KENDA or GT Radial

YEARS ago, had to be over 12 yrs, Kenda was selling FLAME tires for $5 each. I bought 30. I still have a few. They weigh a friggin ton, at least 2x more than a normal tire but they're pretty bulletproof and look cool.

I put a Kenda K257D on the back of my bike to get through a weekend ride. It did surprisingly well on the asphalt but I don’t expect it to live long.

Kenda Kiniptions on my main city commuter. No problems.

I decided to replace the stock tires on my Radwagon 4 EU with motorcycle tires. Here are some pros, cons, and thoughts. The Kenda's provide a much sturdier ride feel vs the stock tires. I found the stocks were bouncy and balloony, like the bike was on leaf springs. Super annoying. The Kenda tires are stiffer, eliminates cartoonish bounce, and ride feels smoother and secure.

I found GT Radial Champiro SX2 was pretty decent for around the same price as Kendas with similar performance and similar but not as much longevity.

I have a kenda 760 rear on my kx85, I think I only run like 10-14psi in it but it feels fine.

i have 20 x 1.75 kenda commuter tires. i usually fill them to about 40-45psi, i think the side wall says 40-60 psi?

Kenda is one of the better China made tires, but given the choice, I’d take the Goodyear’s and continue using my old wheels. It’s actually the choice I recently made.

The socal 86 cup is sponsored by them, so they've all I've ever used. They're more like 260tw. But I got 245 r40 17 for like $80 each. They're not the best, but they're the best for the money.

My Scout came from the factory Kenda tires. I am wholly not impressed with them, after 9,000 km they are just starting to scrub in for turning grip. I am also under the understanding that these factory tires are only good for 10,000km, so I will be changing none the less.

The addition of any moisture to the rear wheel, including from dew or fog reduces grip friction into the realm of nonexistence making for a disconcerting riding experience.
