Tires KENDA or RIKEN

Riken Raptor ZR A/S RF. These tires were under $400 for a SET (about $86 per tire). 300tw. Aggressive tire pattern. And they are a solid performer for canyon carving. I drove them about 4000 miles over a week this past summer around MATG including some pretty aggressive backroad driving and they held up VERY well. Insanely well given the price.

Maybe I am missing something. The Kenda tire sidewall says 30 - 50 PSI. Normally I would inflate to 45 PSI or so for road use. When I put an inflator on the tires they become quite firm at 15 - 17 PSI and ride well without excessive drag. It also feels right from the thumb on the tread test.

The best tire I have found for this setup is the Kenda K161 Knobby Cross 27x1-3/8 Gum Wall Tire. I have a set on a city bike of similar vintage and geometry and they're really quite good.

I would recommend swapping the tires out and setting it up tubeless when you get around to it. It came with Torreno dry 38s and I put on Kenda Crusher 45/40s and it is much faster and capable on dirt and road.

Kenda Nevegal and Kenda Kobra are the two tires I know of that are full all-terrain tires in the 24” wheelchair wheel size.

Some light tires like the Kenda Small Block 8. A small knobby tire that works great on the street.

Kendas are drift or low budget track tires. They’ll work but might be loud when driving

I only ever bought Kandas to do drift days on my previous cars. I didn’t think people dailied them

I just put one of those tires on the front of my K1600 & it doesn't like speeds over 70 mph. It handles good at low speeds & in the rain, but I don't like it at all on the highway. Feels like rain grooves on any surface.

I had the original Kenda MTs on my Land Cruiser and they took a ton of weight to balance, were noisy as hell, wore terribly uneven and we're about 70% worn after about 20k miles.
