Kenda K9's

[Spyder Insyder]

Has anyone had experience with Kenda K9's compared to the original stock Kendas? I am just about due for a new rear tire on my 2018 RTL, and am considering the K9 as a replacement.

There are a few ( 25 +/- ) that have tried the new " Kanine's " .... and most have liked them compared to the orig. ones .... However I doubt anyone has 5000 mi. yet .... From what I've read about their construction, it's almost the same as the orig. ones..... I don't see them coming close to the performance of even a low rated Auto tire .... jmho .... good luck ....

I'm just shy of 5k miles on mine. Zero complaints about them. Just spent @ 600 miles or riding in the Black Hills. They performed allot better than the OEM tires did in the really hard twisties. They are wearing extremely well. I am running 17 psi in the front and 29.5 psi in the rear.

Im another one that had a Kanine tire put on a month ago to replace the OEM kenda that wore out. So far its working well, no complaints from me.

If you get a Kumho or ANY auto tire for the rear use a psi of 17 to 19, you will be pleasantly surprised how much better the rear will feel. ..... this a psi both Peter and I have been recommending for years. .... auto tires are much better constructed and need less air pressure to work at their best on any Spyder ..... good luck ....
