Kenda Kross Plus Front or Rear Slick XC Tire 26 x 1.95 – Reviews
This is the first bike tire that I have purchased in something like 30 years! But my early ’90s Trek 830 needed some new rubber and I wanted something that was smooth on the street and yet had a fighting chance for a little traction in the rare off-road situation.
I installed it, maximized the pressure (65 psi) and it was good to go.
My wife is the primary rider for this bike now and her first comment was, “it’s so smooth and quiet!”.
As for looks, I am really happy and my 830 has never looked better.
All in all, it exceeded my expectations for the price I paid.

This tire is advertized as a city tire. It is very smooth, quiet and simple to install. I have been writing my bicycle for over a month with these tires installed and I am very satisfied with their performance.
The price/value of this product is exceptional.

When I first put these tires on and pumped them up to 65psi, I couldn’t believe how much faster I could bike. It’s awesome. You’ll notice that the ride is quieter and smoother too. 65psi makes the bumps a little harsher, but it’s not bad at all. The tires still have plenty of grip though. I’ve been riding in slushy snow and hardpacked snow/ice and it’s been no problem, as long as I’m careful. You might notice that you’re more likely to skid to a stop if you try to stop quickly on wet pavement, but I think the stopping distance is still safe, even when wet.
I got one flat when a piece of glass went through the tread of the tire, but that happens. These tires are probably a bit more flat-prone than heavy mountain bike tires that have a huge tread that just rides right over glass, but it’s worth it. One flat in about 2 months of daily use (9 miles a day) is pretty good, I’d say.

If you ride your mountain bike on paved surfaces, but still need limited off-road capability, get these tires. They speed up riding on pavement and make it easier by 2 or 3 rear gears. They’re light, and 65 psi is a blessing. They even make the short off-road distance of my journey to and from home easier while keeping it safe for cornering. ‘Nuff said.
