Kendra tires are pretty good... stiff 6 ply sidewalls... but don't carry much load ratings

While you DID "save" some money, you'll spend that money replacing these "bargin" tires.
For comparison.... I paid $176 for two Dunlop Elite-3's delivered from Jake Wilson.com (use promo code JW009)
In the future, before buying bargin brands... google "<insert brand here> motorcycle tires" and go to the parent web site.
As you say you ride less than 2,000 miles a year.... I doubt brand will matter much

Thanks for all the responses. The Kenda's are OEM replacements with the same speed ratings (130 mph) as my old ones.
We really only have 4-5 good months of riding in Chicago, so they should last a few years.

Well....The v-rod is my dads. The sporty was purchased for my mom, with the intent to keep me off his v-rod (it worked). The drag boat is my family hobby, that could not be competitive without my help.
I am very fortunate for what I have.
Just think if my parents paid for my college instead of all these toys. I could finally move out!

Well my father has been layed off for over a year (construction) and my mom works at a sheet metal factory.
If these toys were not payed off, they would be gone.
Looking for a roommate that will not help with bills, and drink all your booze?????
