First 800 miles or so good; took several wet and snowy turns. It is exciting. Doesn't have good grip in the mud (but there never was a scooter tire, you'd have to get cleats or something). Some say it makes their ride smooth - this won't happen unless your current tire is warped or something; It's just a tire, but all you could ask for is good traction and durability, and since my tread wears very little and the tire never slips, it gives me both. UPDATE 12/29/13: Just bought two more of these tires. I only ordered one before changing the rear tire. This is still normal, but as expected after a few thousand kilometers it starts to lose profile. They work very well and for this price you won't find better quality. As always, I'll update if I find a bug or important note. Overall, you get good cornering grip, even in the wet, and an overall smooth ride (as far as the tire can help). Not bad at all, Kenda.
