[Review] Kenda Kontact Tire

Picture:

Fix

After Fix



Not so great hey? Notice the sidewall rippage on the buldge picture.

Review:

Duration:
-2 weeks

Price:
-20ish bucks

Pros:
-Cheap.
-Let me roll for a while.

Cons:
-Everything.
-No resistance to popping.
-Not grippy.
-Super fast wearing.
-Broken sidewall.
-Buldge.(The specs are fibers of the tire showing through.)
-Go to hell tire.


Well to start off, it's a piece of crap. I've known three others to ride this tire and have all of the same problems. I'd expect it to atleast last more then 2 weeks. Absolute garbage. Caused so many flats, anything could go through this tire, and well, sidewall blew pretty easy. You can see from the fize picture kind of how much of the bead was expeosed. I'll get a better picture of the hole when I take the tire off my bike. But I highy DO NOT recomend this tire to ANYONE. And by no means am I hard on tires and skip around and crap like that. Also this was not over-inflated.

Rating:
1/10(Gave it a one becuase it let me roll for a while... and just that a while.)

Ya those kenda tires aren't the greatest, but it does look like you have it installed backwards.

Thats not always true, as price is not always the best indicator of quality even in bmx, some of the time (not this time however) you end up paying top dollar just for a name brand.
