kenda vs vee rubber!

[crazzy #1]

tossing up between the two... can get 14'' front vee and 12'' rear vee for $80 or 14'' front kenda and 12'' rear kenda carlsbad for $95... not too worried bout the $15 difference just want tires that will be good on all surfaces! i know the vee's arnt too good in rock as the knobbs will ripp off! but i intend on riding on every surface

one or the other sik-pj!...

na ash (no-fear) has told me that his vee's didnt last quite as long as the kenda carlsbad!... we are running a carlsbad on the rear of the 426 it is much bigger then the mates vee and he is running it on a 650!

i may try kenda carlsbad first then hit vee after they have worn? sound fair?

a very good hard compound tyre for all mx type bikes is the Dunlop. my son has tried the kendas ect but can see the lasting of the dunlop easy.

well it looks like ill be going vee, because dhz wont have any kenda in for another 2 weeks

 

[geezus18]

jap tyres are shit every time i go out i get flats all the time upgrade to a kenda the reason vee tyres last so long is because there hard as shit and have no grip like nice kendas

i don,t think the kenda tyre is as good as other brands available mainly due to its very soft walls and tread compound plus made in china. we have tried a couple of the kenda range tyres and compared to the dunlop which has a much harder wall and tread compound, we have stuck with this dunlop tyre. the wear rate is 2 kendas to 1 dunlop, cost for the dunlop is $50 to $55.

vee's are actualy a very soft compound! this is what elstar have told me!

ill hit them up a set i get 10% discount... wow! lol

 

[mcanix]

vees stick to the rim better and have less tendancy to turn on the rim

 

[RD RACING]

a soft compound off road tyre is very good if used on surfaces like ; sand / mud and soft soil. the harder compound tyre is better suited to all teraines that many of these pit style bikes are used on. like some bitumin ect ect.

we'll see how it goes! if i can get down to elstar
