Title: Kenda K55 tyre's
Post by: Chromo Buzz on March 13, 2012, 10:03 PM
Hi,

Does anybody know if you can buy Kenda K55  street BMX tyre's(20x1.75) in the UK?  They look very similar to Panaracer freestyle tyre's(black/tan walls), i've found them on Ebay, but they all seem to be in the States.

Any help much appreciated :daumenhoch:

Cheer's,   Buz ;)

Sorry lads, the guy only has 1 left, will be good on Kappy's unicycle.  :LolLolLolLol:

They were bargains as you say, £26.50 a pair inc postage, I bought 2 sets this month, one for my Performer but I let Steve Firebird have the other set yesterday.  :daumenhoch:

I may give the seller a buzz, see if he's getting any more. ;)

I know yeah,they did make them in white but they work out to be around £60 a pair plus postage from germany. Id still like to get them but 60 for kendas seems a bit high for me at the mo

That's still not bad as there are little alternatives as pork chop doesn't seem to do his comp st repops in white anymore.The only other reasonably priced alternative if you want nice white tanwall freestyle tyres in 1.75 are the Odyssey Freqeuncy G flatland tyre at around 25 quid a pop.new skool but fine for a rider.My mate has just bought a set for his beat and they look ace! :daumenhoch:

Those Odyssey's look really nice!  But yeah you're right, there isnt much choice anymore with white 1.75's :( .  I wonder if Porkchop will be doing another run of white ST's?  I emailed them  the other day about a white repop dominator and they said they'l be doing another run of them in the new year :)

So it was you that snapped up the last ones eh..... :LolLolLolLol:

They use the same moulds as the good ol days from what I can gather :) ....Would be ok if I needed red or green as theyve still got stock left.  You'd think with how popular it is, they'd still be looking to run another batch off.  Especially white as its a guaranteed seller.

I guess so Ed.....But then I keep looking at those Peregrines (i know theyre black) that are only 3 euro's more per tyre and it gets me all confused  :LolLolLolLol:
