Kenda K270's mounted

Well, I finally got around to mounting the K270's I bought a while back. I'm liking them so far. I was originally running a Kenda Trackmaster in the rear, and a Shinko DOT knobby up front.

The K270's don't do as well in the dirt, obviously, but for what I ride in I think they are a great 50/50 tire.

I removed the stock tires when I bought the bike, so I don't have a comparison between those.

You give me a reason to drink.

I told her to stay right in the mud hole. She went left. Now her nickname is "Swamp Thing."

Every hill is climbable, if you're brave enough.

Let's go to the jewelry store, she said. It'll be fun, she said.

The K270's and Shinko 244, and pretty much every other tire that copied that tread pattern are all just about the best in terms of a 50/50 tire there is. They are probably the ultimate in jack of all, master of none tire out there. I think you will like them overall, but there will always be that scenario where another type of tire would do better.

I'm liking them so far. I do wish the front tire knobs were spaced out farther apart from each other though. The front tire doesn't like loose dirt in turns on trails I found out today.

Still, I'm hoping to get a couple thousand miles out of them.
