Kenda Road K40, Tire, 27'X1-3/8, Wire, Clincher, Beige

Todo me agrado rapidez en las entregas

Good 27" tires are hard to find and these Kenda K40 tires beat my expectations. They replaced a pair of Schwalbe Marathons that I really liked but unfortunately twice popped a bead off of my straight-walled rims. In their defense, I had been forewarned that the Marathons were a little loose on the rims, something I was looking for in case I needed to make an on-road repair, but that that made them ill-suited for straight-walled rims and by gosh, they were right. Now, back to the Kendas.The Kenda K40s installed easily - a tight fit but manageable with tire irons. They inflated easily and seated promptly. The sidewalls are even all around; the center bead stays centered all around. They ride smoothly and grip decently on corners. There is a lot of flash left on the tires from manufacturing that will eventually wear off but until then, or unless I pare it off, looks a bit shabby.

I bought a pair of these to fit on an old "English racer" from the 70's. I wanted the widest tire I could fit on those narrow rims, and this was the widest I found in a 27" tire. Where we are now is near the beach, so there is plenty of sand to bog down in; the wider the tire the longer you can keep pedaling. Also, a fatter tire makes a bit more comfortable ride. These tires installed easily and were no trouble. I like the natural coloring of the sidewalls, too. Because we have had problems with sand spurs sticking in the tire and causing flats, I installed a tire liner in each of these for protection. I have two more identical bikes to renovate, and I'll be getting two more sets of these tires to do the job. I recommend these tires for function and price.

I bought these for my sister's 1988 men's Schwinn World Tourist. The old tires were crumbling and I needed a cheap to-size replacement, and these perfectly fulfilled that need. The tubes were still in good shape and fit perfectly into these tires. They fit well and don't rub on the brakes or fenders.These tires are inexpensive and appear to be manufactured inexpensively. They have a few spots that are uneven or have a little extra rubber stuck on from the factory. This doesn't bother my sister at all. She is very excited to be riding faster and smoother now that her tires are in good shape and I am happy knowing that she is a lot safer from a blowout now that her crumbly old ones are garbage.Get these if you are looking to replace the tires on your old cruiser, they're just right.

I bought a pair of these to replace 20-year-old tires on a bike I seldom ride. These things are far from thorn-proof. The rear tire has been punctured 3 times in only a few hundred miles. Unacceptably, when a thorn or anything else punctures this tire, the fabric of the tire begins to unravel! Yep! I had to patch the inside of the tire to keep it operational, but upon the 3rd puncture the unraveling was more widespread, the patch did not hold, and the inner tube actually bubbled through the hole, which spread open like a nasty hernia as I began to inflate the tire!!!I actually can't believe this took place. I don't live in a thorny area, and in comparison, most of my other tires have gone for decades without needing repair. And none have ever unraveled due to a puncture.I put the 20-year old tire (which I should have tossed but somehow did not) back on the wheel so I could ride it again.Steer clear. I would take an ancient, crumbling tire over this piece of crap any day!Also, it says on the tires that they are rated for 85 pounds but this isn't true. The other tire blew when inflated to the max. Fortunately the inner tube was patch-able and the tire was only slightly damaged around the edges, so I was able to continue to use both, albeit at 65 PSI.
