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.
Kumho Tires for everyone!!!!!
Example, I switched to Kumoho from GSC's on 93 Trans AM. Yes I gave up traction but I gained smoother ride, better wet road handling, and about 12000 more miles a set. which basically doubled what I was getting out of GSC's. No question a better tire. Kumoho was still not big yet but what they did make was really good.
Upgraded to pilot sport AS at 30k miles because the Kumhos were no longer gripping in the rain (even though there was plenty of tread left).
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.
The Kumho's are a 200tw track focused tire that can be run on the street. The limit of grip exceeds anything the PS4S can do, I'm sure you can push the V730s to the point were you can get he tail to slide but it is going to be at a much higher speed and a harder to control.
Kumhos are decent tires for smooth town driving. Not the top notch, but pretty decent.
I'm not a huge fan of Kumho in recent years but they're OK.
Trenutno vozim Kumho Ecsta PS71 ljetne gume nakon što 15 godina vozim samo premium gume i moram priznati da već nakon 6000km nije ista kao prvi dan i sad znam što znači premium! Kad padne mala kišica i krenem uz brijeg, ima wheelspin... na autu sa samo 150KS i 1700kg kvragu.
Kumhos suck!
