Back when the Kanine's were introduced I was hoping for some improvement. .... un-fortunately after reading the specs for them I wasn't impressed.... Except for the tread pattern , it appears they are using the same or similar construction for the CASING ..... if you are using the recommended PSI's, then increasing them will help some, but the ride quality will suffer and in the RAIN they might get quite " squirrely " ..... after you wear them out I suggest you get any Auto tire that is similar in size ..... right now the Vredestein Quatrac 5 is my favorite choice ...... good luck ....

Didn't you just get the M2 shocks that were for sale?! Were u running them? I run a Kuhmo and it bites in the corners where the factory tire rolls. I was hoping the kanime would be more like a car tire.

No Kanines yet, but the OEM's get run at 26#. Two pounds less than recommended so they do not bulge up in the center creating that bare middle look. It has worked for me in the past. Jury is out about the new flavor.

I wish I had known about this with the OEMs. I bet I could have gotten at least a 1000 to 2000 extra miles if I had kept them at 26 lbs instead of 28-29 lbs.

That was a hella score on the shocks in just time saved. Patiently waiting on mine to be built. I run a Kuhmo at 25# and ran my favorite twisty 50mph road and they are a lot better in the corners with no roll feel. I hated how the stock rear moved around and felt inconsistent. Are you running the front Kanine's too?

all 3,but going to change them out

So it seems car tires may still be the way to go. How do the front feel?
-

I just put some Federal 595 Evos on the front..oh man they freed up the front something wonderful. Its a lot more nimble in the corners and just seems to steer better plus its a vrated tire.
