KENDA Carlsbad
These tires scored very well with our testers.
They have softer sidewalls than any of the other tires in the
test which makes them much easier to mount. Something you will
be very happy to have if you need to change one on the trail.
Also these tires are directional, so you get an intermediate tire
and a hard pack tire all in one. They provide excellent feedback
during braking and inspire confidence for hard acceleration out
of corners. We ran them at the recommended pressure 15 psi front
12 psi rear at the track and they felt a little mushy on hard
landings but filling them to 18 for the front and 15 for the rear
they wo better behaved. On trails we went back to 15 and 12 psi,
the soft side wall worked great, gripping well on loose rocks
as well as sharp edge rocks with very little deflection.
This is a long lasting tire, at a great price.
