The Kenda KM1 is the brand's first sport-touring radial, built for riders who want confident road manners across commuting, weekend rides and longer touring days. This listing is for the 180/55ZR17 73W tubeless rear fitment, a common size on sports tourers, naked bikes and larger-capacity road machines.
Kenda pairs a modern radial casing with an updated rubber compound aimed at reaching working temperature quickly, so the tyre feels settled early in a ride rather than after a long warm-up. Optimised profile geometry balances easy, quick turn-in with stability at highway speeds, while extra siping and a wet-focused tread pattern help maintain grip when the road turns greasy.
Please check your bike's handbook or swingarm placard to confirm the correct size, load index and speed rating before ordering. Fitting and balancing should be carried out by a qualified tyre technician.

- Have the tyre fitted and balanced by a qualified motorcycle tyre technician using correct machinery; do not attempt roadside or DIY fitting.
- Fit only to a rim rated for tubeless use and in the size specified by your motorcycle manufacturer.
- Renew or inspect the valve stem at every tyre change, and confirm the direction-of-rotation arrow on the sidewall matches wheel rotation.
- Scrub in new tyres gently for the first stretch of riding — avoid hard acceleration, heavy braking and deep lean angles until the surface has worn in.
- Check and adjust pressures cold (before riding), at least weekly and before long trips, using the pressures listed by your motorcycle manufacturer.
- Inspect regularly for cuts, embedded objects, bulges, uneven or cupped wear, and check tread depth against the legal minimum in your state.
- Re-check pressures and handling if the bike is heavily loaded or carrying a pillion, and stay within the tyre's load index and speed rating.
- Keep petrol, oils, brake fluid, solvents and silicone tyre shine away from the tread and sidewalls; clean with mild soap and water only.
- Store spare tyres upright in a cool, dry, dark place away from direct sunlight, ozone sources such as electric motors, and sharp objects.
- Replace any tyre that has been run flat, punctured in the sidewall or shoulder, or damaged in a crash — repairs are not suitable in these cases.
