(1/1)

SAFRANEV6RXE:
I need to change my tyres,i have just fitted Skyway tuff 2 and have white tyres with tan walss,size 20x2.125,problem is they near impossible to keep clean and looking smart,think i need tan wall but black tread have had a suggestion about Kendas.
Should i go to 1.175 aswell?
Not sure of the make at the moment but i guess they are crap! Lucky stone i think.

You'll never keep white tyres clean, not if you intend to ride in them. If you're going for the freestyle look (guessing you are following your rotor thread), then I would recommend Kenda K55 tyres (Panaracer copies), they're cheap in comparison to OG 80s tyres. I would use 1.75s also.

The kenda K55 is what i,ve been told elsewhere so this sounds like a good choice,problem is i can,t find any for sale in the U.K.
Will have another look now and see what i can find.

I bought 4 sets, all from US sellers. I don't think Kenda distributed them in the UK.

I used to pay around £25 a pair inc postage, but this was in 2011/12, so o guess this may have increased now.
