    Kendas?

    Well, I destroyed my front tire today. I was thinking of trying some Kendas. What would be good for the tracks around here? ... mixed surfaces with some sand.

    Re: Kendas?

    I used to be very faithful to the old Dunlop K-490 front, but when they were discontinued, I tried a Kenda Carlsbad front and really liked it.
    On the rear, I used a Kenda Trackmaster II, which wore very well and gripped good. I then tried a rear Milville and it chunked knobs badly, so it's back to the K-760. I do not recommend the K-760 front.

    I'd like to know myself, I was sponsored by them for bicycle stuff and meant to try and get some mx tires but never did last year. I might end up trying them this year.

    I've never run them, but my neighbor does on his bike. He rides a lot of moto-x up here in VT, the track aren't real sandy, lots of loamy stuff, but he loves the Kendas. Says they grip well and wear incredible.

    Re: Kendas?

    My brother was running a Millville front on his KTM last year. When I asked him how he liked it he just said "Fine."
    Neither of us has tried the "sticky" compounds, though.

    I run a Pirelli trials tire out back and a Pirelli knobbie in da back.

    I love the trials tire for the woods. It sticks like glue to the rocks and roots.

    Got my Kendas today. They look and feel top notch. I'll try to get them mounted up ASAP. I guess outdoor season is just about here!
