Which Kenda?

I actually quite like the millville. Not the greatest wear, but it hooks up good.

I ran Kenda Karlsbad rears and Millville fronts for about 3 years strait, loved them then. Of course that was before I ever tried a Bridgestone and I don't run anything else anymore.

I know alot of guys that run the Millville around here and love them. Might have something to do with the kind of dirt you run in also.

I was a li'l skeptical, always been a Dunlop/Metz/Pirelli guy myself but I got a Carlsbad rear for my 192cc Pitster and so far, I'm kinda' likin' it. I'm thinkin' of putin' one on my CR480 and already got one for my wife's XR200. The jury's still out but I'm gaining an interest in the Kenda line, I like what I've seen lately.

Geez, Freak......maybe they only work for people with hair?

I ran the Unadilla and Milvilles and thought they hooked up like crazy on a prepped track, but they had a bad habit of tearing knobs on the hardpacked clay that is prevalent on the practice tracks in Utah So I would go through the great trouble of swapping back and forth to only run them on race weekends to make them last.

I have been using Kenda Carlsbad, Washougal Sticky's and Budds Creek with good success. They hook up well and offer good slide control. I'm not sure what happened with your tires Freak but I really have no major complaints after using them for two years on mostly hard terrain - MX only. I'm considering going to Michelin next year as I'm going to a 450 with more tire shredding ability.

I know the kenda has gone through some revisions so they won't tear the knobs off so easily. I had that problem on my Honda too. I have yet to mount the Millville on my Suzuki, but when I do, I'll let you know.

One a different note, it does seem to last very well on the 250F's.
