KendaCruiser K671 Motorcycle Street Tire - 150/70H-17

March 2017:So this tire had some issues and only lasted 5926miles. The shortest time/miles ever in the past decade or so running this. Tire started to vibrate really bad which usually happened at higher miles for me and not around 6k. Also had an incident in which the tire popped off the bead from what I assume is low air pressure/lack of checking. The usual uneven wear pattern that causes massive vibrations is the usual give away that the tire is going and starting to fall apart. Still a excellent deal for the price paid and excellent grip.April 2017:Got another 11028 miles out this tire which was installed in March 2016. Started to get heavy vibrations at higher interstate speeds. Decided to replace this before it gets ripped like the last one. Added some more pictures.March 2016:Been running the K671 in 150/70-17 for the past 70k miles and am getting consistently 9-11K miles out of them depending on the season. They usually wear quicker in the winter and get worn down around 9k miles. Summer sets usually last me over 10k with the last set showing metal and actually de laminating and ripping at 11.3K. Ive been pushing this time a bit too far.Grip is excellent and rain traction is a dream. Cannot go wrong with this on a Suzuki V-Strom or BMW 650cs.A dead giveaway on the tire going is that they get really wobbly and shaky.The DOT code on the tire received in March 2016 was 3515 Meaning it was produced in the 35th (August) week of 2015 which isn't bad.

I use Kenda Challenger K657 on the front, and have been extremely pleased with the grip, handling, and treadwear -- both how many miles, and how evenly it wears -- on that tire.I ride a Suzuki VStrom 1000, and unfortunately, there is no 150/70-17 in the Challenger line to use on the rear of my bike, so I have to look at other model tires.I've bought 2 of these tires back-to-back. I like the Cruiser K671 rear tire pretty well, and they are, generally, a pretty good compliment to the Challenger. I have precisely zero complaints about the wet or dry handling (a big issue for me b/c a Shinko Cruiser tire threw me down in the rain crossing some rail tracks!) and the grip is completely satisfactory for how I ride the VStrom - like a middle aged guy on a high-mileage sport touring bike... with the emphasis on touring, not sport.My only complaint is that when they wear, they wear unevenly -- they scallop around that central triangle shape, which is super-weird for a rear tire. When it scallops, it makes the bike handle a bit squirmy, and it wants to follow grooves. It scallops before the tire is fully used-up in the middle, too, so it always feels like I'm wasting 1000 miles. I'm currently replacing it at about 5000~6000 miles... not bad, but could be better if they wore evenly.

I put this on my car 300r and it changed the handling of my bike. I have about 3000 miles on it now and it still looks like new, it handles better then expected in the rain.

Fit great

I've been using Kenda Cruisers front and back for several years now on a 2008 Suzuki DL1000. It's my commuter bike and it sees about 75 miles/day. I get about 12k miles from this rear tire and it's fairly predictable: I'll slap one on, pick up a nail or other debris in the first few thousand miles, patch it (it's always in the tread) and start to notice the loss of center tread about 10k miles in. Other than that, these tires are always up to charging some of the more fun curving ramps at <censored> speeds and also handle the odd bit of rain without making me wish I had two more tires and a cage around me. They don't howl like a banshee either. That's reserved for the Kenda front tire at most lean angles.With 60k miles coming up on the bike I'll be buying my 5th one of these soon.

inexpensive and so far nice riding tire, I broke this bad boy in on a rainy day and it performed well! It has performed well on many more rainy days! I am going to replace the front soon with the same brand. If I can get away with paying these prices, and they wear well, I will be a happy man. I have almost 100,00 miles on my Vstrom and I go through a LOT of tires.

I installed these before a 2000+ mile trip and they have been great. Flawless in the rain, grippy in the curves, and they are crazy cheap. They look like they will hold up for quite a few miles. 5 stars!

Great tire seems to be wearing well. Good traction not to rigid or too soft
