Kenda K270 Dual/Enduro Front Motorcycle Bias Tire - 3.00-21 58C

Used for a DR 650 front tire. I always have a spare. Super heavy duty. I never get flats. I do recommend.

With dozens of tires to choose from, I wanted med-soft compound, adventure tread pattern and radius for my Classic Bultaco Alpina for on-off road riding.... This is prefect!

Good smooth tire on road and gravel, ok in light mud

Good wearing tire at a great price for dual sport bikes.

I have been running this model tire for 5 years now on my 1991 KLR 650. The first one I purchased new and achieved nearly 8,000 before it started to cup. When I replaced it with a new K270, it was still very rideable, but I like my tires to be in good shape. If one wanted to run them down the wear bars, I suspect the tire would be rideable up to 10,000-11,000 miles. The tire does excellent on a heavily loaded down bike on both tarmac and dirt. I can't believe how they hold the corners on asphalt, even when I am running all the way up the side lugs. They are okay in muddy conditions, but really shine on damp or dry dirt roads or trails. In my opinion, this is one of the best performing tires for the price available on the market.

So, I ride a little bit of street and a little bit more off-road. After trying 4 other tires I finally am happy with these! They seem to hold up great to streets and they give me a good amount of grip off-road. Of course it's not as grippy as some super knobby tires but for my riding, I think it's a great fit.NOTE: On my Sur Ron front fork - a Killah fork - I did have to trim the side knobs to get it not to rub on the sides. It still turns great though. I mean the amount I trimmed was maybe 2mm on each side so it was minimal.Anyway, love them! I think I'll stick with these for a long time before I switch them out :)The only thing I wish was different: I wish it was easier to tell when they are seated. For the longest time I thought they were not seating correctly until I took the tire off and realized that that's just how they look - there's no real apparent lip that will stick out like you'd see on many other tires. Regardless though, it does seem to stick well - I haven't noticed any slipping or anything.

The media could not be loaded. I'm on 1 wheel most days. Sometimes all day.and these put up with the abuse on and off road on the 450. Very satisfied.

This is my 3rd set, I am happy with the performance and wear for a mid range tire. I pretty hard on my tires, use them off road and does okay in sand/washouts with low pressure15-20, and I found that on the road up to 32PSI works well for tire wear and ride ability. I also recommend ceramic beads in the tube instead of traditional balancing, I'm getting a good 10-20% more life out of the tire.
