KENDA - 040015517B1 - KM1 Tire
The Kenda KM1 marks Kenda's first sport-touring radial, and this 180/55ZR17 rear (73W, 4-ply) reflects that engineering push: an optimized apex geometry meant to balance high-speed stability with quick turn-in rather than favoring one at the expense of the other. Kenda built the compound to reach its ideal operating temperature faster than competing tires, useful for riders who don't want to wait several miles for grip to come in, and increased siping is there for confidence when the road gets wet or unpredictable. It's a value-focused entry into sport-touring performance backed by Kenda's claim of long-wearing durability.
