Hard Terrain Vs. Soft Terrain Tires

I was doing a search of the internet for information regarding the difference between hard terrain and soft terrain tires, when I discovered the following page at the Kenda website. 8)

That answers a lot. I'd not known the difference before. I can tell you this. Highway 82 is very hard terrain. 8O

The conversion chart also goes along with this post.

Most of our china bikes seem to come with english measurements.

I think Kenda did a superb job of concisely detailing the differences between these tires in a single web page.

P.S. I really enjoy my Kenda K760 Trak Master rear tire; I am amazed at how well this tire performs under all conditions, including street use. I am equally amazed at this tire's low price, and its durability!

Kenda K270 dual sport tires work very well off road but hum slightly on the road - FYI.
