Kenda Tires

I prefer Bridgestone these days. Use to be a Dunlop guy. If you pick up the #25 Issue of AmateurMX you will see a pretty good tire test. the Kenda faired pretty well and placed first and second with two out of three riders. Check it out if you get the chance. Its that kind of reading I love. Real world stuff. Bridgestone came out on top.

I've always had good luck with Kendas... once they are on that is. Haha, they are really stiff in the side walls so a little difficult to get on. They are pretty cheap and seem to hold up pretty well. The knobs seem slightly taller, and it's noticable when riding slowly on hard pack or through the pits, but on the track they were good. The biggest thing I noticed is once they started to wear they still hooked up really well. All tires are good when fresh, but not many still hook well when the knobs start to round, and if you are like me and can't afford tires all the time they are a good bet. Just my thoughts, but dont' be surprised if you bend a couple tire irons while putting them on! I guess if you get a flat they will ride a little better haha.

I have been using the 110/90 Carlsbad rear and love the tire. I first used it when I lived in Washington State and it worked great in the mud or dry. I used it at Washougal on several practice days and it work great. Since I moved down to SOCAL I have used it at pretty much all the tracks down here. The tire works in all conditions and it wears really good. For about $50 you can't beat it.
