The Kenda and the Shinko you listed are very close thread patterns and both considered 50/50 (I have seen the Shinko listed as 70/30) but most 70/30 tires are much better on the street than the 244 is.

I use the Shinko 244 front and rear and they work well on dirt fire roads, and easy single track stuff. Not great in mud or sand, but usable.

I do not like them for higher speeds on paved road especially in the curves, but with a 50/50 tire you cannot expect the best of both worlds.
