kenda tire

[elcanaco]

I changed the OEM Dunlop rear tire on my '07 yesterday to a Kenda 270 and took it for a spin. I was surprised how slippery/loose it seems in the corners on asphalt (compared to the Dunlop). I got used to leaning the Dunlop WAY over in the twisties but it's slightly unnerving with the Kenda. I have 36psi in it and the axle is torqued properly. Is this just a matter of getting used to a different tire profile and compound? I plan to do a month in Alaska this summer (from BC) and am 'hoping' not to need a tire change during the trip. What can I expect distance-wise from this tire, loaded up with gear (but I only weigh 160)? I have a front Kenda I'll change before I go also.

I also put a Kenda big block on my 2011 Klr650 ,and I felt the same. Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
