KendaK40 Street 27 Inch Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I had to replace the tires on my 45-50 year old Schwinn Continental bicycle. Found Bike Tires Direct, bought the tires, they arrived promptly, I installed them, I am very happy.

This size tire is no longer widely sold.

This style model is super for my purposes. It cheats the street.

If you have 27 inch rims, this is the way to go Tan sidewalls, Black tred. Not only are the just like tires from the good old days, they have almost the same price!

Used on my old 27 inch bike. Looks orignal.

I use these K40 KendaBetor' street tires for my Bike sales and restoration ( Redlands classic and vintage bike sales and restoration )

I put this tire on a1976 Schwinn Sportabout. Match perfectly with the original tire. Very fast but soft ride.

Got here in a timely manner and they're working great.

I use it to repair road bikes. I thiink it is a good tire for the price.

It looks great with your vintage bike

great replacement tires for my restoration......

These were tough to mount, but are a good basic tire for your oldervintage bike.

Still have my early eighties Fugi ( among others ) Has 27 non hooked rims and have had trouble with tires

blowing off the rim under pressure. So, years ago I was sold a pair of Chen Shin tires. Very heavy and

crude. Even had trouble centering the bead on the rim. Years go by, I've had enough ! I take a chance

and order the Kenda K40s ( gumwall good for classic authenticity ) Wow ! what a tire should be.

Mounts like a dream, no rim problems, It's light, flexible and rolls out smoooth. On first ride I immediatly

feel the reduced effort req'd to pedal. Feels like I gained 10 horsepower ! To top it off Bike Tires Direct

had them on sale. Value Five and one half stars ! Joel , Taos NM

I really like the vintage gumwall look on my vintage bike. The tire was easy to mount and has a good tread pattern for street use.

See above.toy

Looks and rides very well on my old vintage bikes

I'm 69 years old. I put a new set on my vintage Columbias. I ride them for fun and exercise. They look and ride great.

Bought a set June 2014, bike is kept indoors, and I've put less than 800 miles on them. Looked this weekend March 2016- the rear tire is splitting where the gum wall joins the black all around the tire on the rear one. The front tire is splitting here and there.

Great Price, Great Quality. I'm approach 2,000 miles on them and there still going strong.

Will be buying more !!

I had great expectations for these tires, but found they blew off my old rims- the original '70's rims with no hook. HOWEVER, on my new replacement Hook style rims, they are SWEET! More cush for the tush, and a great ride. THey can take proper pressure with a hook rim. I ran them at 70PSI on rough country roads, no problems. SUmmary Hook Rims Excellent value, old rims be careful, they will pop off.

ps, anybody have a tire that will stay on old school rims???

Fits really good, good quality tire.
