Kenda 4.10-18 K270 Claw 4PR (DOT)

The Kenda K270 Dual Sport is a trail-and-road tyre built as a straightforward replacement for the original equipment rubber on dual sport and trail bikes. In this 4.10-18 size it carries a 4-ply rated casing and a 58P load and speed rating, and it is DOT approved for road use.

The tread is biased toward mixed-surface riding at roughly 40% dirt and 60% sealed road, so it suits commuters, farm and fire-trail riders, and anyone linking dirt sections with highway kilometres on the same set of tyres. Construction is tube type, so an inner tube is required.

Have the tyre fitted and balanced by a qualified motorcycle tyre technician — bead seating and rim protection are difficult to do safely at home.
This is a tube-type tyre: always fit a new inner tube of the correct size, and check the rim tape and rim lock condition at the same time.
If a rotation arrow is marked on the sidewall, fit the tyre so it points in the direction of forward rotation.
Scrub in the new tyre gently for the first stretch of riding — avoid hard acceleration, heavy braking and deep lean angles until the release agent has worn off the tread.
Check pressures cold before every ride and set them to the pressures specified on your motorcycle's placard or in its owner's manual; recheck after any off-road pressure adjustment before returning to sealed roads.
Do not exceed the tyre's marked load and speed rating (58P), and do not overload the motorcycle.
Inspect regularly for cuts, embedded stones, bulges, uneven wear and sidewall damage, and replace the tyre before tread depth reaches the legal minimum in your state.
Clean with mild soap and water only; keep petrol, solvents and silicone tyre dressings off the tread and sidewalls.
Store spare tyres upright in a cool, dry, dark place away from direct sunlight, ozone sources such as electric motors, and chemicals.
If the bike is laid up for a long period, keep weight off the tyre or move the bike periodically to avoid flat-spotting.
