Damn good off-road tire

It was surprisingly quiet on the pavement - no more noise than my 27mm Paris Roubaix tires - and it feels great on gravel and dry dirt. Can't comment on durability, but so far I like it. I ordered another one to change the front.

Pros
  • cycling
Cons
  • unreliable

Great all-round tire for trails and sidewalks

Great tire for my gravel bike. It rolls well on the pavement and isn't too noisy unless you rev hard enough to hit bumps. Like the reflective Kenda logo and they were easy to install. They are directional, so make sure they are facing the right way before you sit on the rim. Great traction for hard trails, loose gravel and suitable for softer stuff. Note that they are listed as 650bx45 but are on the large side of the width number.

Pros
  • Sports and outdoors
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Solid but deflates faster than other tires

So far I like these tires. They roll well, have a good tread pattern for my use and feel pretty good. They're not as fast and comfortable as the Bontrager GR1, but their profile is more aggressive in side turns and slightly larger in volume. They ride much better than the WTB Raddlers - not as aggressive in the corners, but the WTBs are so slow and hard that they don't seem attractive. So far my only real complaint is that they seem to lose air faster (cameraless setup) than the others. My…
