Well, the Kendas lasted 2 months. The rear is almost gone. I am going with the Dunlop D606's next time around. I have to so the chain and sprockets so that will be a good time. As for the kenda tires, they were not very expensive but they didn't last long either.

I have decided to try a new set of tires. Michelin AC 10's they are a pretty aggressive tire compared to what I've got now. I can easily give up the streetability for a good dirt tire. I will give an update on them when I get them on and do some riding...

I was not happy with the Kenda 270's... The rear wore down fairly quickly and the front doesn't grab like I want for the dirt, rocks and gravel. IMO the Kendas are a great 50/50 tire but I need an 80/20 tire.
