I just pulled a Kenda Cruiser 671 off the rear on my bike. It ran good, including a 1700 mile high speed run to Alabama, but it was plum wore out, down to the metal bands starting to peek through in two spots, after 8,000 miles. Best tire I've found for both wear and performance is the Michelin Macadam M50 and M50E, front and rear.
