Remarkably good tire - excellent rolling resistance, ultra quiet tread pattern, very good looking, very light weight for the size. I use on a Vision MWB recumbent, front 20x1.95, rear 26x1.95, runs all day at 70psi, yet high volume provides plush ride, rolling resistance compares favorably to mtn slicks (I have used Contisport Contacts, Michelin Runr, and Primo Comets) - yet these provide flexibility to hit fire roads, light trail riding, and mild off road without worry. And they are very inexpensive, plus they come in 20406 and 26559, perfect for a good looking, multi purpose yet speedy recumbent. Highly recommended.

Good enough roadcommuter tire, but not great traction in the wet. Wire bead.

Inexpensive wire bead tire, suitable for cruiser or light commuting. I have mounted it as a rear tire and find that it's grip on road surfaces isn't ideal when braking, especially in the wet. That said, I maybe push these tires a little more than they were intended for. If you're looking for an inexpensive tire for light duty road use, these will serve you well.

I put these on my Rad Rover a couple of months ago. These are the best tires so far and trust me, I have experimented with 4 other sets. They are great for light trail riding and commuting.

i run the k-rad 2.3 on my hardtail and have ridden (iirc) 4 pairs over 11,000 miles (mostly paved path, but a lot of cinder as well). they rarely flat, wear well, and can be mounted-dismounted without tire levers. solid handling in dry-wet. look cool, too.

The tires were affordable and provided me with a smooth ride on my mountain bike commuter. They wore out a little faster than anticipated, but I weigh 220 and tend to do rear brake skids quite a bit. Holds up very well for my riding, yes I use it on trails as well.

These tires are perfect for what they are - an inexpensive hybrid tire that does a lot of things very well.

Put this tire on a free carbon fiber cyclocross frame (damaged in transit) that I built up with some mountain bike components I had around. I use the bike for light trail around town riding and really like their feel on gravel/dirt as well as their ability to run on asphalt with relatively low rolling resistance. These would make excellent commuter tires - I have put a few hundred miles on them and see very little wear.

This was the tire I've searched for. Much better on my Mountain bike than narrower cross tires. This is a nice tire that has the profile of a trail tire but does great on pavement and dry dirt trails. If you are looking for a tire that will spend most of it's life on pavement and dirt trails this is the one. With grip up the sidewalls it can do almost all. Obviously not good for mud.

I was looking for an affordable and durable tire that is appropriate for varying terrain. The Kenda K905 fit my needs for the many rail trails in the area that frequently change from packed cinder/gravel to pavement.

Smooth rolling tires that is sure-footed everywhere, including pot holes, cracks, and sidewalks. Even on downhills, the treads grip very well around concrete and asphalt. I ride about 75 miles every week for commuting. These tires roll very straight and no wobble - unlike the stock tires I got when I bought by GT Aggressor 3.0.

I've used Kenda K-Rads on 3 bikes now and I keep coming back to them. They're pretty good on dirt, pavement, and crushed aggregate, taking into account changing tire pressure. They tend to wear fairly quickly, however, and these 1.95 are rated only to 65 PSI.

Got these to replace my worn out Kenda Kwicks. Mostly commuting and some trail riding. These don't roll as fast as the Kwicks but do feel more heavy-duty. They seem most at home on dry dirt and feel like they would be good for dirt jumping and maybe racing on hardpack. They feel like a BMX tire on my mountain bike. They don't clean mud very well. Found that out pretty quick on a trail that was pretty sticky. Got totally plugged up and had to leave the trail. On a drier trail they were ok but didn't grab on climbs where there were leaves. That would be expected just by looking at the tires though. Overall they're ok, but haven't blown my mind or anything. They seem pretty tough which is good.

I ordered these bad boys and they arrived early (sa plus), and immediately put them on a Klunker that I'm building. I really dig these tires, and will be ordering more, as i have three more Klunkers to build.
