Kenda Bearclaw HTRs are some of the longest lasting tires out there.
I’m running the AT2s on my rig in 265/75-16. Really solid tires for the money. So far I’ve got about 5-7k on them. Drove cross country and they did pretty good on the highway loaded down with gear, and not too noisy either. Decent off-road as well.
Just picked up some dirt cheap 26" tendrils to replace the nobbys on my stumpjumper commuter. Hope they do well with glass riddled roads, but honestly at $10 a pop it's not a big deal if they don't.
YEARS ago, had to be over 12 yrs, Kenda was selling FLAME tires for $5 each. I bought 30. I still have a few. They weigh a friggin ton, at least 2x more than a normal tire but they're pretty bulletproof and look cool.
I put a Kenda K257D on the back of my bike to get through a weekend ride. It did surprisingly well on the asphalt but I don’t expect it to live long.
Kenda Kiniptions on my main city commuter. No problems.
I decided to replace the stock tires on my Radwagon 4 EU with motorcycle tires. Here are some pros, cons, and thoughts. The Kenda's provide a much sturdier ride feel vs the stock tires. I found the stocks were bouncy and balloony, like the bike was on leaf springs. Super annoying. The Kenda tires are stiffer, eliminates cartoonish bounce, and ride feels smoother and secure.
Holy Rollers (in 26" at least) have pretty thin sidewalls and I've gone through a couple due to punctures, but have had good results with the Kenda small block as a rear tire
Kenda is one of the better China made tires, but given the choice, I’d take the Goodyear’s and continue using my old wheels. It’s actually the choice I recently made.
I don't know if anyone has had the same experience with the 270, but my Kenda 280s have been awful on wet roads. Like riding on ice... Truly scary. I guess because the rubber compound is cheap. May not be an issue if you live in a dry climate.
