Kenda K671 vs Shinko SR740 & SR741

Which tires would you recommend and why? I don't ride too aggressively and I want something that lasts at least 8,000 miles.

$124.08 total for:

Kenda K671 front
Kenda K671 rear

$114.98 total for:

Shinko SR740
Shinko SR741

Thanks.

Get the 712 rear. It's great



Can't speak for the 740.

I have a pre-gen (16" rim) and love the rubber of my Kendas': soft, durable, zero skids in wet and dry conditions (only street riding).

Looking to get tires on my pre-gen. Looks like the kenda site only has 100/90-16 for the front when I hear I should pair a 110 front and 130 rear.

Do you run a 100 and 130? How does it feel. Wanna order asap so hopefully someone sees this and reponds!

My shinko has been wonderful in all types of riding. Never felt it slip even in the wettest of conditions. Im not 100% on which one it is. I also cant speak for the kenda but I have the shinko on both my ninja and my shadow and they both do well in the twisties. I push it hard in the corners to. I have only put 2k miles on the ninja but the tire still looks new minus the nipples being gone.

Looks like I had my facts wrong about stock front 110, its 100 - sorry all. For a bike that's gonna get ridden twice a month or so I think I'll give the Shinkos a try.
