Singletracks.com last week reviewed one of the latest additions to Kenda's signature line, Tinker Juarez's Dred Tread. Here's an excerpt of what they had say:
"The Dred Tread tires feature low profile center knobs with standard knobs on the sides to assist in cornering. On straight sections of hardpack and pavement the tires barely hummed and felt smooth as butter - yet climbing in damp dirt and roots the tires only spun out occasionally on especially slimy, steep sections. The Dred Treads really shine in cornering where the tires felt as if they were full-knobbies, sticking to tight lines without so much as a slide or wobble."
"After riding these tires in the woods and on the streets I haven’t found a single thing I’d improve about them - though I’ll stop just short of calling them perfect. The Kenda Dred Treads are a great tire for XC riders looking to cut down on rolling resistance without sacrificing much in terms of performance. Besides, if Tinker rides and endorses these tires how can you argue?"
We're super-stoked to hear that they're jazzed on Tinker's latest tire. With all the new tires and high-profile riders we've added as of late, sometimes it's easy to overlook things. Expect more articles to pop up on the the Dred Treads in the future. More and more magazines are starting to review them as they dive through the rotation of their product reviews.
