How do you like the Kenda Dune runner fronts? They seems to handle well, i just purchased a set for my wife, looking to get one for myself.

I've ran these in 21" and 22" and no issues.  The 21's seem to turn sharper and the 22's float better.  A bit heavy tire.  I like the looks of a Mowhawk in 21" better than the Dune Runners.  My next set will be Cascade Cutters (http://www.cascadeinnovations.net/store/store_View.cfm?STORE_AREA_ID=12&store_dept_id=72) in 22".

I too like the looks of the mowhawk tires, but for half the price, im interested in the Kenda's. I'd probably run 21". Thanks for the input! Im also looking at these as a cheap source...

As much as i dont like the "non-buffed" look, they're cheap, but probably super heavy.

[MENTION=85]pinned250r[/MENTION] I have 21" on both my bikes, I think they're the perfect size. Not to big and ballooney looking but still very smooth ride.

 [MENTION=100]rablack21[/MENTION] Last wreck I had in Winchester bay, I didnt see the razer back. 4th gear pinned and it bucked me over the bars, quad flipped upside down with the grab bar landing on my back. Broke the spring off my flag whip on my butt cheek lol

I think the Kenda's look better than either of those options.  Rocky Mountain has standard Mohawks (or maybe 1/2 buff) for $78/ea with free shipping here (https://www.google.com/#q=skat+trak+mohawh).

If you never crash you are not going fast enough.

nice vid! Would love to get out to Oregon and do some riding
Yeah Jon just bring yourself and a helmet and we will tear up the dunes on the Puma's. If you think you can handle it. I will even let you drive the 90 minutes it takes to get there.

Or anyone else who wants to come over. I got five 400+cc bikes that need to be ridden!!!!!!!!!
