Review on Kenda K-193 Kwest Commuter Wire Bead SRC/PRC Bicycle Tire by Bishnu Bush

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very easy to mount on MTB

Out of the box the tire sidewalls looked uneven and really ugly. Once installed and at 60 PSI everything looks fine. A test ride showed a GPS speed of 34 km/h at 80% effort. I could ride faster with a helmet and the test track in front of my house was longer (I only rode 30 km/h with off-road tires and 90% effort). This was the first time I changed a tire and everything went smoothly. The only mistake I made was putting the front wheel in reverse, but it didn't make much of a difference. I just spin the wheel. I'll bump the pressure up to 80psi after a few rides (just to be on the safe side) and then test the speed on a more open road. I will buy another set for my wife's bike. Tires that are 20 years old may look good, but they are not safe.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Difficult to see
