Kenda tyres

Has anybody tried the Kenda Brand of tyres on their GT550. I have a couple of these gt550's but one of them only does a few miles a year. Maybe 300/400 miles at most, so putting a top of the range tyre on seems a waste. I'm sure if I downsize the number of bikes it would get more use........ But anyway it's new tyre time for several of the bikes including the gt550.
I presume the Kenda can be run "tubed".

Never used Kenda tyres - I always fit Dunlop Streetsmarts to my 550s.
Remember it's your life when you're riding on whatever you decide to fit.

I've got them on my gt750 and they are very good, with good wear rate and tread pattern. would recommend.

Thanks, I have a small fleet of bikes and putting the best rubbers on them all is expensive. Some of the bikes are smallish capacity and don't do many miles and spend a lot of time on the country roads when out and about.
I need new tyres for the gt550 and the cl450, the gt380 is still ok. The reviews seem ok for the Kenda tyres so I will get a set for the gt550 and see how it goes.
