Rugged Puncture resistant Road Rider. Thin sidewalls

Had 2 flats in 2 days - glass on roadway that vehicles forced me into. Decided to sweep up the road and get new rubber. Replaced 2 Bontragers that sucked anyway. Inherited those when some crack heads stole my ride and swapped out the Conti slicks for some bizarre reason. Recovered the bike with a few other titanium missings as well but glad I got my Klein Rascal back.

Anywho yeah these are pretty decent except the thin sidewalls. Guess they want to shave weight but that's not me concern as I am far from a skinny pants hipster. I think you will be pleased plus they are quite cheap at BTD.

Easy to mount

They went on the rims without a struggle. Not a lot of use, initial ride was fine. Good tire for the money so far. They went on my wife�s comfort bike.

good fat city tire

Good in dry and wet conditions, haven't seen snow yet. Rolls well and smooth esp for a fat tire. Doesn't corner as well as the 1.5 Kwest, this one feeling like it prevents me from leaning in too far, forcing me to slow in tight corners.

Works great!

Great tire for the cost. I use this tire for both on and off-road riding. They serve this purpose well. No issues thus far. Would recommend.

Kenda's Last a Long Time

Bought these to replace 10 year old similar Kenda's on my wife's old Trek mountain bike used only for bike path and City street riding. The old tires had tread by dry-rotted on the sidewalls from age, Texas sun & hot garage storage. Never had a flat, even riding over glass from broken bottles on Dallas city streets. Mounts easily and seats evenly. Well worth the $20each cost, which works out to $4year cost of ownership.

Really nice and quiet

I turned my Nishiki Alien into a daily rider and needed street tires. These roll super smoothly and quiet also. So far good grip on corners but I'm not going low enough to scrap peddles yet.

Very low prices. My only issue so far has been tube slipping causing flats. I fixed that now though.

Nice tires

About 100 miles on tires as of now. So far so good. Exactly what I was looking for. Will see how fast they wear off during the next riding season. I think I will buy again. Thanks

I replaced some knobby tires on a hybrid I was repairing with these. They went on without a problem and seem to have a nice feel.
