Cheap Kenda Kiniption 26x2.3 Black/Black Wire Tire
This type of steel beaded tire is not to be folded for any reason because of the potential of breakage of the wire ,visible or not visible, from inside the rubber rim of the tire. Kenda confirmed that this tire should not be folded, and that they ship these tires flat to business owners (for sale to the public). The tires shipped to me from Xtreme Bike & Sports were shipped to me folded up which caused permanent damage to the wires inside the tires. The owner of Xtreme Bike & Sports refused to accept responsibility that their shipping practices can or will cause damage to this tire and the potential of causing serious physical injury to an unsuspecting customer from a blowout or immediate flat tire while riding along heavy car traffic or crossing streets on a regular bike or electric bike at a faster speed. All other sellers to their customers should heed this warning as a matter of public safety. I will not do business again with the seller mentioned above for knowingly failing or refusing to accept responsibility for selling damaged tires and its unreasonable shipping practices, including refusing to issue a return shipping label or refund or replacement. It should be noted that the Kenda tire in and of itself is a good tire for any bike, especially an electric bike (which requires a steel beaded tire for safety purposes), so this complaint is not against Kenda, rather an advisement to not use it if it has previously been folded.I am very happy with these tires. These were/are the highest pressure,(mine say 80 PSI) fattest tires I could find. They look awesome and they perform great. Very low rolling resistance and tough enough for urban assault. I have 2 sets of disc wheels for my mountain bike with the same cassette on each rear wheel. I just switch from my dirt wheels to my street wheels and go.....
