One of the best things I ever did for my TW was to put a Kenda 270 tire on the front. Now that it's getting time to think about getting a new rear tire, I'm wondering if Kenda makes a size that will fit and performs well? I think many stay with the stock Bridgestone TW34, yes? I ride about 75% street and 25% dirt/gravel roads. I like how the Kenda on the front performs. What might be a good replacement for the rear?



Sorry if this has already been discussed to death. If so, point me to the thread where I might learn. Thanks.

I wish Kenda made a big fat K270 for our rear! That'd be awesome...

The only tires I know of that come in the stock size for a rear are the bridgestone TW34 (stock) the bridge stone 204 (street) and the shinko sr428 which is also a more street tire.

I'm looking hard at that 270, Dunlop 605 and the Shinko 700. Leaning a little toward the Shinko.

D605 workin' good for me on front of the Tdub. But I got Shinko 525s on the YZ. The Shinko 700's aren't good for much off road. Tried those on a DR650. Wouldn't do that again. Pick what you want.
