Kenda Tires

Postby Spyug53 » Thu Feb 19, 2015 3:01 pm

I am unfamiliar with this brand but a local parts supplier has sets on for a really good price ( for this area) at about $130 Can before tax. Maybe too good to pass up but then again????

I haven't been too successful in finding out anything about them. The odd review saying crap and just as many saying they are ok. Not enough to form an opinion.

Any opinions, pro or con? Oh and can anyone tell me where they are manufactured?

Cheers,

Looks like they are mostly made in Taiwan. I replaced a front tire with a Kenda once, but sold the bike before I really put any miles on it. I usually run Shinko's on most of the bikes I redo. I have them on my CB900C and have put about 4000 miles on them with no complaints. I just put a set on my Sportster. I get them from Motorcycle Superstore.

Been using them for years. I like them, compared to a Pirelli tire i can get 2 summers out of a rear tire. A little harder tread but for me they last.
