Used Kenda KM-1 tires. 100% highway/street commuting miles. I got 25,000 miles usage on the rear tire! I highly recommend this tire.
If you go with the cheaper of the two options, get the Kenda Kozmik's. They're similar to the Michelin City Grips and have the same dual compound tread. I've never had any problems with them and they've lasted well over 6000 miles, they hold the road in wet weather and do okay in light snow.
Kenda tyres also in Australia and these aren’t a cheap crappy brand. The R/T & M/T have a very durable casing and are good value for money
Kenda kraiser KR20As are a great tire, wear kinda fast, but cheap to replace makes a good difference, or federal 595rs RR love this tire hooks all the time for me
Would definitely recommend either of these to anyone. Dual sport is the way to go and these 2 give a more offroad vs more on road choice.
I wrecked hard on gravel with stock tires, went with Kenda big blocks and got all my confidence back. Little different on the road, would only recommend if you do more off road riding.
Gravel kings roll well and have a durable sidewall. Kenda will roll well but the sidewalls tend to be on the thin side and more prone to getting cut.
I’ve been running my kenda klever RT(35x12.5r17) for about 25-28k miles now. Wearing good imo, 14/32nds-15/32nds remaining when new was 19/32nds. I ran them at 30psi for most of their life and I wonder if that’s the reason why I’m having some issues with them. Mainly some balancing issues, flat spotting if it sits for a couple of days but it goes away once they’re warm. Kenda told me to run them at the psi my car says in the the door jamb. I have an 18 JLU. So i’m gonna test it now at 34psi. I suppose south florida heat, and heat from being at 30psi hasn’t helped them. I do love their rain performance and noise.
I had some Kendas on a K75 a decade or so ago and they were garbage.
On my '16 RT, the dealer installed a new set of Kenda KM1 sport touring tires when they prepped it to sell. I've put a couple hundred miles on the tires now, and I'm not crazy about them. Above 55mph, the entire bike feels like it's "squirming" slightly. You can feel a little instability in your hands, almost like you're riding on a highway with rain grooves.
