Kenda K-180 hybrid tires?
Hi,
I found some Kenda K-180 hybrid tires in 700x38c. I do mostly paved-road commute to work with some time spent on gravel trails. I'm not looking for racing, etc. and weight doesn't matter to me. Are these decent commuting tires? They're only $6.00 each, so I figured I couldn't go wrong for the price. Garth |

There are many many wonderful tires out there--don't get hung up on brand names Those Michelins I mentioned cost me ten a pop on sale LOL and I thought they'd last perhaps a summer, but ended up doing two years duty with a single flat! Not that that's what all models of Michelin would do. I've bought fancier tires for thirty each that were crap and my current 700x25s by Cheng Shin are rather lively and durable. For your type of riding--be a cheapskate and don't worry about it nor be embarrassed--I'd just grab the current on-sale set from the web or your LBS and have a smorgasboard. If your tastes become more refined, then just run with it and spend some bucks on perhaps some Conti Top Tours that are a mainstay with many a rider. I do like a kevlar belt tire though, but most of the rubber at the width you're using will be nice and sturdy regardless. Stay cheap! |

Thanks, Maxo. That's what I thought. I'd like to get a set of Michelin
tires for my bike. I've always used them on vehicles. Are they worth the extra, for cycling, that is?
