This tire gets great traction on wet roads. Corners great also. I get as many miles on this tire as I have with Dunlop and Bridgestone, about 6,000 on rear tire. I am very satisfied.

Had on bike 1500 miles, no wear show as of yet. Great handling tire had met. 880 like the Kenda better.

Now this is what a motorcycle tire should look like. Great tread patten - very good tread depth. My 1500 drifter is very stable in curves with these tires K673 F/R. I would recommend these tire to anyone - buy the set and you will be glad you did. Very very fast shipping. Thanks, Paul

These tires "feel" much more solid than the Continentals I had on my Vulcan 1500 Classic. They are reasonably priced, good tread, much less road noise and they don't grab every little line or crevasse in the road or jerk the steering out of my hands like the old ones did. Love these tires and will buy again from Chaparral since they have the best prices and excellent service.

I have used many brand name tires in the past years. This is the best rear tire I have ever ran on any of my cruiser motorcycles. High mileage, good wet and dry hook up on the street and great cornering. Keep 36 Psi in the tire and you will get many miles from the Kenda K673

I have just got to the end of the life on my 1st set of Kenda Kruz tires. I have gotten very good tread life out of this set, approx 6500 miles, and look forward to my next set. Which I am ordering as of now. Great tire, great value.

Great tire, better performance from this tire than other tires I have tried and been very disappointed in. And they cost a whole lot more, than this tire. Also it outlasted the other tires, overall a lot better tire.

It has nice deep groves and good load capacity, but I think its a bias tire. That's why the price is so cheap, but unless your dragging your knee around curves you probably won't know the difference.

Good bargain. Tire handled the Goldwing's weight and made that monster handle very well and controlled. It immediately felt good in the corners and never broke away even when brand new.

Stock Dunlops are horrible, and when it comes to tires, how they perform and last are more important than the name on the side! Kenda has been a top name in off-road tires for decades, and their street/cruiser tires perform just as well. I have these on my Shadow, with 4500 miles. They show little wear, great traction on dry pavement and in rain. I'll never pay for the big-names again, as Kenda performs equally, if not better! Please be reminded on the break-in period of at least 100 miles. The rear tires (especially wider ones) do tend to fish-tail a bit until they are well broken in.

Great tires and price lasted longer than my last purchase on a higher price tire. Second set got 10,000 usable miles on first set, bought this new set without a second thought of trying something else. Great in water and handle well in colder temps.

Have used these Kenda tires on my Suzuki Boulevard for the last couple of years. Super competitive price and the rear tire got just over 10,000 miles before I replaced it. I got the same number of miles on a pair of Metzler ME880's which cost about twice as much. They have a firmer, touring compound. You can touch their traction limit even with the limited clearance a cruiser bike has. That's alright. My Boulevard wasn't meant for to pushed as hard as a sport bike anyway. Fine tires at a great price... Thank you, Scott

I just had the tire mounted and have only rode it a few miles, but the cornering and traction were excellent. The tire looks great and the guy who mounted and balanced the tire was really impressed. I will likely purchase the front tire to match this summer. I think I'm going to like the performance and wear of this tire over the Shinko tires I've had on my Yamaha RoadStar 1600.

Best tire in corners, freeway lanes, wet or dry. Got 13,674mi on rear tire on my Yamaha 1100 V Star hard riding. Buying a new one today. Just got the front matching one last month. With Metzler 880 I only got 6,721 miles, it cost twice as much and has poor handling. Will only buy this tire unless they made a better one.

Feels stable on straight paths, but heavy or slow response on swerves or weaving. No experience of slippings within first 130 miles as other reviews I have read. Overall I would re-purchase.
