Anybody have any experience with these tires?  They can be had in Houston for a really good price.

Mr.BubblesVRCCDS0008

I've ran them on eudro bikes before but not on the valk. Where in Houston are you, I'm on northeast side.

I got over 5,000 miles on mine and expecting at least 15,000 more. It's a good feeling knowing tires is no longer an issue when it's long trip time.

I put a rear one on the front of my IS recently too.  I didn't like it.

Like Bigdog99 says... to each their own.  I'll never knock another guy for making a different choice than me.

You want my Kenda tire cheap my Bigdog buddy?

What was not to like?  I can't tell a difference between the Kenda and my metz.

John,
not sure how long this one will last. riding out to sout dakota this year. plan is for about 3300 miles. lets see if my opinion stays the same also. i remember putting on the E 3's and thought what a difference. maybe its just tire to tire at this point.

Discount M/C Tire in Pasadena has a rear for $109.  I haven't seen any other brand close to that.
