Kenda K1047 Small Block Eight Tire

These tires have amazed me with their traction and durability.It was a nice surprise,sense I got them for their light weight.

I was looking for new UST tires for my Mt. bike that would match my riding preference, which is mainly gravel roads and two-tracks, and paved roads or the occasional rail trail to get to my destination. I also went from my old 1.95 tires to 2.1 size on the Small Block Eights. I was pleasantly surprised on how well they rolled on pavement, and they were relatively quiet. But where these tires really excelled was in the gravel and dirt. They handle sand well too. These tires roll and climb well, and have excellent traction. I got used to the wider size right away, and they seemed to add stability to the bike. I think these tires will even work in the Michigan winter on the snow and ice packed dirt roads.

two flats one day no good fast tire use to cont. traffic model before they change design this tire are to high price for what you have to spin time repair them then riding cheap tire wish i could trade them for cont. race king 2.2

I like the low rolling resistance, good grip, easy to mountdismount.

I don't like poor punture resistance to goat head thorns, small chips of broken glass, noise over 15mph on the street you can sure hear them coming.

important with the many flats.
