Default Gonna try a Kenda Kruz rear tire

Anyone want to tell me why I shouldn't? It's going on the rear. I haven't ordered it yet.

I personally dnt stray too far away from a name brand tire but Amazon users rate it 4.75 out if 5 stars.. In a crunch I may give them a shot if I got them installed at a reputable place incase something happens in the future

Never heard of them, but I learned early on to buy well known brands. Even they don't always get it right!

Wow! That was quick. Kenda IS a brand, they make tires. I'm not buying Dunlop, even if they do say Harley Davidson on them. I learned to hate them after my Michelin felt SO good compared to the Dunlop.

All the major brands sell suitable tyres and there are stacks of threads about the options! Kenda do get a mention, but not often.

I have Pirelli's on mine but Shinko's have been doing well lately. Been starting to see them on a lot of bikes..might be worth looking at

Shinko's are in the right price range. Pirelli's are two rich for me. The riding I do doesn't require the best tire out there, a ride to the park, maybe my sister's place, not much at all. Load up with groceries now and then!
