Kenda Kruz K673 Motorcycle Street Front Tire - 130/90H-16

Got this to replace the worn-out merzler 888 on my '06 Yamaha Roadliner, that had some BAD uneven wear...not sure if it was just a bad 888 or what, but it had worn thru to the belts in straps. So, wasn't keen on getting another 888. Stock tire size on roadliners are an oddball size and $$$ when you find them, so I went with a slightly lower profile( and substantially lower price ) tire here, and I'm LOVING this tire! Handles great, wear is great after 700 miles, stable as a rock...just a great tire. I've read that the Kendas use a harder rubber compound than other tire manufacturers for longevity (maybe, maybe not), but if it's true it doesn't seem to have any noticeable impact on grip. Now granted, this is an 800lb cruiser, not a sport bike, but for Myself it performs very well. I was expecting a little longer "break-in" period due to the harder compound, but 50-60mi later it's was nicely scrubbed and stable as a rock.I'd not hesitate to get another one when this one is worn out...it really is a GREAT price, and a GREAT tire! Well worth it, and I recommend Kenda tires to anybody who asks.

Down here in Florida, we get a lot of rain this time of year. Not that I'm into riding in the rain but occasionally I do get caught in it. The Metzlers I have now are not very rain friendly but these Kenda tires are perfect on dry and wet surfaces. I cannot wait to get them mounted on my VTX 1300S! I "can" speak highly of them now though since I've installed a pair of Kenda Tires on my Vmax. Lots of traction with them and they are long wearing too with great grip on cornering.Update: been riding on these tires mow for over 1000 miles and like my Vmax, they handle great on dry or wet pavement. The dealers like these tires because of the amount of tread and pattern on them and they don't take any more or less weights when balancing if the Tech is skilled and experienced.As far as price vs a cheap tire? Big tire Companies advertise and whondo they pass the cost to? You! So, if you think paying more for a name brand tire is netter just remember the costbof advertising. These are great tires and more people should try them out for quality, longevity, price, and performance. I'm going to try a set of Kenda AT tires on my FJ when needed in the future.I highly recommend this tire for your bike.

Got the tire mounted and it looks good, rides great also. This tire has a lot of tread and hopefully will give me a lot of miles. I've got at least 4,000 mile to do this summer and I'll update if there's a problem.

Put on my1996 Honda magna 750, cruiser. Did go up on size as they didn't have my size in stock, example(100/80 to 100/90),fit perfectly, looked amazing, little cheaper too!. Any thing more want fit. Importantly, they grip, and great over all performance rain or shine! I've rode in wet conditions with no issues, they really are as advertised. Great grip, stability, and handling in sharp curves and high speeds. Basically, great all around tires for a cruiser, and great quality! I would definitely recommended, and happily suggest to a friend or fellow rider needing new tires! Fyi: It definitely good to buy the same or similar pattern and style of tire for the front an rear tire for best ride, etc. Also you can't put a rear tire on front an vice versa. Most say rear tire or front tire.

great tire for price,, corners great, smooth and quiet

Yea it fits with no issues.

Ok I got the rear tire and have about 1500 miles on it.I had Dunlaps on the bike.came on it. 04 vstar 1100 classic before.made a difference in handling when I put the rear kruz on.the tar snakes were a pain the bike would wiggle if I drove on top if one.that took a lot of that away.tire still looks new wear is great.now about 800 miles ago I got a kruz for the front what a difference with both kruz on my bike. Tar snakes what tar snakes don't know there even there. When I had Dunlap on the bike not that I do this but I would take my hands off the bars just to check the balance.I would have to shift my weight to keep bike straight but now I have both kruz on I lift my hands off of bars and its like the bike is in autopilot no movement at all from the bike or me.So as far as my opinion for my bike my driving I highly recommend them. Cost is great also.

I bought my first Kenda Kruz K673 Rear Tire (170/80H) for my 2004 Kawasaki Vulcan 750 in Feb 2020! Exactly 3 yrs later it now has 15,700 miles on it with some tread still remaining! I choose this tire as it was the least expensive I could find in 2020. On my first ride I instantly noticed how well it grips the road and cornering was like being on rails. I was more confident when riding in the rain as it grips the road so much better than the previous Michellin Commander II. This tire has exceeded all of my expectations! So I'm going to purchase another to retire Kendra #1 when she turns 16,000 miles. She has served me well! My riding style: never do burnouts, a little heavy handed on the throttle when accelerating, all short trips around town and some highway riding. No long trips ever.

Rubber is very stiff, probably will last very long. Seems "slippery" on wet asphalt or concrete. But gets the job done.

Good quality tire arrived very fast, about 1000 down so far and no issues at all

Awesome looking tire!! Great value, put on my Harley sportster 👍

I have not had it on long enough to give a true review, but it seems to be OK, switched from a Metzeller 140 to a Kenda Kruz 130, the 140 was too wide and was rubbing, the Kenda works great, Its is on the rear so it does not feel any different performance wise, if it were on the front, I might notice it more. I am 72 years old, and have 9 bikes, and ride all of them, so they all have a different feel when riding one, and I am not an aggressive rider, who would notice differences more than I would.
