### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ best bang for the buck I've seen
*by S***D on June 25, 2025*

I tried these tires and really didn't think I'd like them but for approximately $200 for a set, it was worth a try. I've tried other brands but so far, these hold up to my 140mile commute. Most tires, the rears are gone in about 4k. I think I have 4k on my first Kenda and it's still has about half the tread. That being said, I am not a knee dragger. I do enjoy the twisties. I find these are less sticky but not bad enough to be dangerous for my riding style. I have these on a 2014 Honda VFR800 and 2024 Kawasaki z900. Both have traction control and that may help. I have bought 2 sets and have stocked a couple for when they need changing. I mount and balance my own tires using the Rabaconda tire changer. I find the performance is still good enough to ride the backroads with confidence. I've only been in the rain once and it was a torrential downpour doing 70mph up a hill on the freeway and I lost traction in a puddle but let off the gas and it was fine. The tire was new and under 150 miles on it. It was the most water coming down I've seen. I was using Pilot Road 4s, 5s and 6s but cannot afford the near $500 per pair. I'm anticipating 8-10k mileage from the rears. I am not estimating the fronts yet. If you try these tires, remember, not as sticky so if you are an all out knee dragger, these may not be for you. For me, these are working for the mix of backroads and freeways I ride. I commute 36K miles a year and spread those miles over 3 bikes. That doesn't count my weekend miles.
