    I just did 1000+ miles on a a new Kenda K270 front and was very impressed. Very stable at 85mph and does fine in the gravel. My buddy has one with just over 8k miles that still has tons of meat left so I thought I would give it a try. Beats the Big Block, T63, and TKC80 IMHO. I will probably try this model out on the rear once I wear out the Heidi K60 Scout I have been running.

    I went with the Sinko 700s also. Works very well except in sticky clay, This tire has a softer body like the 270s, but the big plus for me was how quiet these run on the street. Did 12 days off road in Idaho and Utah ,no problems.

    Can you tell me what size Shinko 700's you went with? They don't list the original size tires anywhere I can find.

    I have used the sinko 130 size on the rear . Seems to work well , two others also use this size on their Husky. I think it would be true with the kenda tire also. Not many tires in140 .

    130 will fit fine. I deliberately use K60 in 130 as the 17in 140 has the solid center band.

    I have tried numerous brands..It just take 500km + to get to the no-where places in South Oz . I always scrub the knobs on anything after 2 or so trips.. When will they develop Kevlar impregnated rubber for us???
