If my Black, Round and Holds Air Kendas get me from Point A to Point B and Back hey I am Happy. I will tell you why, If I Planned on Setting the Land Speed Record or Dragging my Knee around every Corner I would Probably would get the Premium Tires as Mentioned. But I bought these Kenda Challengers as Stated in my Previous Post to Replace the Pirelli Route 66's that I had on my Bike and lasted only 5000 Miles. And before that the Dunlap 404 's which lasted about the same. Are these Premium Tires? The Price I Paid for them I thought So! I also thought that they would last longer than they did, maybe I am wrong. I am no Expert or Claim to be. But now if I get the Same amount of Miles out of these Black, Round and Holds Air Kendas well IMHO I got a Bargin.
