That's a good question, Gene. Depending on the rider, the mileage figures vary widely; some of those guys roast their tires! :roll: I imagine you will get as many miles from the Shinko 244 as you get from the Kenda K270, and some riders report the Shinko 244 handles better on the pavement. Also, although the K270 is not an expensive tire, the Shinko 244 is usually priced even lower. For example, you can currently buy a size 4.60-18, Shinko 244 tire at Bike Bandit for $38.26.

I don't know the respective tire weights, but I assume they are similar.
