Tires Pirelli or KENDA

Just fitted the PZero 2023 TT Race tyres. OMG. What a delight to fit. No tools needed. Straight on the rims. No need to pop them.

I have been using Pirelli PZero for a few years - TLRs 28mm on Enve Foundation 65 Hookless. Realy like them (heaps).

However the last set purchased have completely defeated me. I cannot get them onto the wheel set.

I run Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC with CushCore inserts on hookless carbon rims. I usually run 27psi, but have done as low as 24psi. I have run these very chunky and rough courses with fast downhills. I have had no trouble.

My stock tires were low on tread by 30k and needed replacing - I got Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3s and have been happy with them so far, including driving in freezing rain conditions last week.

Summer Tires: Pireli Scorpion AS plus 3s

* These tires are super smooth and quiet, amazing touring/highway tire.

* Good traction in wet conditions and in light snow but not as good in deep snow as the CC2s.

I have Pirelli Cinturato P7 which are pretty great.

I had some Kendas on a K75 a decade or so ago and they were garbage.

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.
