I've put about 1200 miles on these so far and i have to say these tires are excellent. I feel like the bike is glued to the pavement. The front end wobble I had with the Lazertech is gone and the kick out I had experieced with the ME880 in turns is gone as well. I would say these tires actually perform a little better than the stock Metzlers did. they perform really well on wet pavement as well. The price was great at $137.00 shipped for the pair. I know that tire preference is like oil preference but as long as I can get at least 8000 miles out of these they will definitely be my tire of choice.

I've been a big fan of the Kendas for a couple of years. My experience is similar to yours. They outhandled and outlasted Metzelers for me. Where did you find them for that price? I need to get a new set soon.

I picked mine up at Americanmototire.com. I ordered them on a Monday and they were at my house by Friday.

That's where I buy my tires too. Best prices I've seen.

Hey Jay,

I installed a set of Kendas.
Kenda Cruz K673 170/80-15 mileage as of today - 2,663
Kenda Cruz K673F 130/70-18 mileage as of today - 658

Gotta say I haven't had any handling issues. They look good too, especially the fatty up front.
