I will be interested in the Kenda you have there young Moto, as in my experience the Kenda tyre R&D is mostly on the MX circuit.

I wonn’t use an ‘enduro’ tyre until they get better Bruce, all the decent tyre offerings seem to MX based designs. The ‘enduro’ tyres are crap.

That has to be one of the biggest statements I have ever seen, big balls, or no idea or a wealth of knowledge behind that statement. I will watch, trial and learn with interest

Really, why?

When you look at the following websites this is what’s listed for ‘enduro’:

Michelin – Enduro Competition III
Dunlop – D952, D907 & K190
Metzeler – 6 Days extreme
Kenda – No enduro listing.
Pirelli – No enduro listing.

Now when I look at the same sites for Motorcross tyres I see:

Michelin – S12, M12, MS3, MH3 and Sand4
Dunlop – D707, D745, D756, D742F & D773
Metzeler – MC4, MC5 & MC6
Kenda – Washougal, Budds creek, Millville, Southwick & Parker DT
Pirelli – Scoprion MX

According to the trye manufacturesrs most of use motorcross tyres. Maybe they have big balls and have decided to brand them wrong. Maybe they no idea. Or maybe they have a wealth of knowledge.

Watch, trial and learn with interest all you want Which of these tyres do you use and which category do they sit in on the manufacturers websites? Don’t make me go back and search for your quotes!

I will answer that after the caves to caves mate, I use both but to say there are no good enduro tyres is I think very wrong is my point

I will also list a few non motorcross based enduro tyres that you didnt list, from Michelin, Bridgestone & Maxxis

cheers
