Kenda K657 Challenger Street Tire -140/90H15

If you want a sticky tire that will get you through hard corners, you're going to go through a lot of tires. The price on these are good and I've scraped a lot of pegs with these over the years and haven't missed a corner so far.

tire is correct as advertised, no issues to install

So this is my second Tire like this that I bought. The first one is on a Yamaha Virago 750. It's only been on for a few months hi. I use those self-balancing balls to balance the tire. It seems like an excellent Tire. It arrived undamaged and on time it was fairly easy to install and look so good quality. The only reason why I gave it four star instead of five is because I don't have thousands of miles on it. But it was a good buy for a good Tire. According to the specs and everything it was so good that I decided to buy it again for another bike. But I haven't put it on yet cuz the other tire has a little bit more to go. The tire took a little while to break in. In the beginning while the tires trying to mate with the bike don't do a hundred miles an hour or nothing. At high speed the steering wheel wants to do tank slappers a little. As a tire Break scene this tendency at high speed goes away. Not the tires fault my fault. It's an excellent Tire you can't go wrong. I bought it twice because for what you get for the price you can't beat it!

Very nice Street Tire

I can actually go through a puddle without losing traction. Old tire was terrible.Love it so far ❤️ 200 miles in.

Driven about 2,000 miles so far no sign of where good grip in rain and cold weather

They were wearing great on my 99 Fatboy. When i bought the fatboy it had new fatory Dunlop tire on it with no miles. After 1000 miles i hit a nail and puch side wall. I order this tire because it was cheapest i saw.I bought these to use until I got new wheels. I put new wheels on my Fatboy and put the old rear-wheel and this tire on a Sportster The Sportster had Metzeler tire in the same size on rear. I think the metzeler was slightly better in hard corners. I think this tire would last longer if it had been on my sportster the whole time. This tire is better with water on the road. Unless you ride on a road with mutiply switch backs dragging the foot pegs i would suggest this tire. Even if do ride like that and buy this tire for the price you will be fine.

It's an awesome tire and I like it! Thanks

This is my second Kenda K657 on my commuter bike. Don't let the price fool you, these tires are great quality and they last. These are not performance tires, they are best used for distance touring or commuting because they lack the soft, sticky rubber necessary for sport biking. Used as a regular distance tire they perform well, with adequate traction in the rain and great performance on dry pavement. Examining the Kendas I have owned I have never found any flaws in them. I install them myself and they balance easily. These are solid tires for a guy who does a lot of travelling on public roads and the price is right.

Haven't put it on yet. Looks okay, time will tell.Update (03/21): ...okay, I've had a chance to mount the tire and ride the bike. It seems okay on a straight ride, but everytime I take a left (ie. leaning) turn, I feel a slight thump, thump, thump ...almost as if there's a hard spot or irregularity in the tread, but I sure can't see it! Maybe in time it will "wear-in" and stop doing that. Doesn't do it riding straight or leaning to the right. Any ideas out there?

Good value and drive nice. Have them on an '81 Suzuki GS 1000 L. Don't know how long the tire will last, but I'm not riding as much these days.

The tire was everything I was hoping for and it arrived in a timely manner. Very pleased!

good quality tire
