Tires KENDA or WEST LAKE
Some light tires like the Kenda Small Block 8. A small knobby tire that works great on the street.
Kenda K-RAD are super grippy!
Perfect all around tires for this kind of bike.
Westlake. Tested ko na yan. Same model tayo. 215/55/r17 yun akin since walang available stock size noon. Tahimik naman yun ride. nadrive ko 2gue-Tagaytay tapos nakaraan 2gue-zambales
Last night I had 35x12.7x17 Kenda Klever RTs installed on Bronco Sasquatch wheels. This truck looks perfect now. I do get a slight bit of rubbing at full lock so I will be trimming the front intrusion bar mounts.
I’m not convinced that Chinese tires are terrible, it depends on the brand. ZC tires, who make Westlake and Arisun, I think makes a good product, and have arguably the most advanced automated tire manufacturing for any consumer tires. If you handed me that list and said, you need tires today, these are the brands we have in stock, I’d go with Westlake.
I've always mounted/balanced westlake winter tires onto used cars at my dealer. They're cheap and readily available.
For example the K193 Tires were made to be super puncture resistant at a higher PSI than the first K Series(100PSI) but due to budgeting, they had to sacrifice handling, and also some rolling resistance, they do roll nice but not the best, they handle like crap, and aren’t not safe in the rain despite being advertised as such..lol… they also wear like iron, after 8,000 miles i still have life left them in and never had any puncture issues compared to other tires.
I have a set of RT's on my truck. They were put on at 59,000 miles...my truck has 133k miles on it now, same tires..and I'm JUST now about to put a new set on...but don't absolutely have to yet. I'm fed up with the road noise as they wear down
The a while they had an issue with tread separation. Ton of them got recalled. They’ve been fine since but reputation is tainted. Ran a set years ago. They didn’t separate on me but they were built thin so potholes and the sight of nails would puncture them.
761’s were the tire that came on my NX650 when I got it…I don’t think I’ve used a more “meh” tire. The front cupped badly, sketchy in the rain and really, really sketchy off-road. They did last forever though!
