RetrospecKenda Tires Kwest Commuter/Folding/Recumbent Bicycle Tire

These seem sort of like the regular stupid slick tires BUT its actually way better.This tire requires MORE pressure , which is very important to keep the bike puncture resistant and faster .Punctures seem to happen also because of how items poke into the tires more easily when the tires bend down too much.They really do have low rolling resistance and i can make sharper turns. Didnt try it on the snow but i can use my old ones with a snow kit. Since these tires are black, they wont look at dirty as white tires...These probably arent exactly cyclocross tires because i dont think they can handle mud as much as tires with more spikes at the middle... But those spiles reduce speed .They look so cool on my bike and they are almost rock hard o.o which means they wont bend down on the floor too much and therefore cause more rolling resistance. I should have gotten these tires when i first had my bike. I didnt know wth i was missing!If you got regular slick tires with small grooves buy this! You will appreciate that it pulls away rain and helps prevent slipping during turns.Of course on mudd or worse might be a different story unless it isnt too deep.Thank you amazon for the reduced price. I saw nothing wrong on mine except..... These tires habe a little excess rubbee that doesnt always look good and makes me question its performance... Like at the middle ofall arpund the surface of the tires..Anyway, it was a great buy. Less stress on my legs. It felt great :o

I purchased two of these for use on a Dahon folding bike and they seem high quality and a good fit for the Dahon's rims. The blue color is a little flashy contrasting with my red frame but after some dust and road wear they become a little duller and are not as bright as shown in the photos.

These tries so far are doing a great job on my Terratrike recumbent bike they roll very smoothly and handle well on the turns. They were very easy to put on and look good on the bike. I only have about 20 miles on them right now will report again after a few hundred miles . Tom

I was pleasantly surprised at the firmness and low rolling resistance of this tire. I use in for the back tire on a LWB recumbent, so the weight balance is mostly on the rear wheel. I was accustomed to tires that max at 100 psi, so I was concerned that 75 psi would have too much rolling resistance.

So far so good....Haven't had any issues, but I also haven't really haven't given them a true test. Overall...at the price I paid...I can't complain at all. Plus the bike looks legit!

Trash. Absolute trash. My fiance has a 1974 Schwinn Fairlady with original tires. They're destroyed. She just wanted to put some cheap tires on it to get the rims off the floor, as it sits in our apartment, very rarely getting ridden. So against my better judgement, I bought these at her request. They are the exact same size as what it has on it now. They do not fit at all. Mind you, I had multiple BMX bikes as a kid and changed a million tires on them. I'm no stranger to mounting tires. I just fought with this junk for 45 minutes. I would rather drink gasoline and urinate on a bonfire than even bother to try mounting one of these ever again.

I put this tire on the 20 inch wheel of my Dahon folding bike. I had to use some small tire levers that I have in order to stretch it over the rim, which I liked. That way if it stretches a little over time it will still stay put. I inflated it to 65psi and it looks better than the one that came with the bike.

The tire came warped and I had trouble getting it to sit nicely on the rim because of that. it also wobbles while in motion. I expected better from Kenda as I have had several other tires from them that were of good quality. Skip this one, even my cheap Eastern bikes tires were much better than this.
