The Kenda K280 Trail is a classic knobby tyre designed for trail and enduro riding, built to handle a mix of off-road terrain while remaining road-legal thanks to its DOT certification. The 4.60-18 fitment suits a wide range of trail bikes and older enduro machines that run an 18-inch rear wheel.
With a 4-ply rating, the K280 offers a dependable balance of durability and ride compliance for riders who spend time on fire trails, bush tracks, and the occasional sealed road connecting them. It is a straightforward, no-frills tyre suited to recreational trail riders and classic bike restorers alike.

- Check tyre pressure before every ride and inflate to the motorcycle manufacturer's recommended specification for the tyre size and load.
- Inspect the tyre sidewalls and tread area for cuts, embedded debris, cracking, or bulges before each ride — replace immediately if damage is found.
- Allow a short break-in period (approximately 50–100 km) at moderate speeds and lean angles when fitting new tyres, as mould-release compounds on the surface reduce initial grip.
- Do not exceed the tyre's load and speed ratings; consult the motorcycle's owner manual and the tyre sidewall markings.
- Replace the tyre when the tread is worn to the wear indicator markers or when the knobs are significantly squared off — worn knobby tyres lose traction disproportionately on loose terrain.
- Store unmounted tyres horizontally in a cool, dark, dry location away from direct sunlight, ozone sources (electric motors, fluorescent lights), solvents, and fuels.
- Mount tyres using appropriate tyre levers and lubricant; incorrect mounting can damage the bead. Use a qualified tyre fitter if in doubt.
- Always replace the inner tube or check the tube condition when fitting a new tyre — reusing an old or damaged tube risks puncture or blowout.
- Balance the wheel after fitting to avoid vibration and uneven tyre wear.
