Geez! I haven't heard Terraflex in years... The last one I had on my 450 Maico I had to CUT off the rim - they were a bugger to remove!

mikesmith:
There still made (terraflex) to this day,not sure how they stand up to the old ones.

machine:
I just put on a set of Millville's.
I felt like when riding on flat ground, the front would almost hop at high speeds.

Then I just used the pressure washer on it.
I had the bike on a stand and was spraying the tires.
There was not mud or built up dirt on them.
When the wheel begain to spen, I noticed that the bike was rocking.
As the wheel turned faster the wheel/tire was so out of balance that the bike almost fell of the stand.

I tried the same with the back tire, but it was fine.
I will be replacing it ASAP!!!

That sucks A$$!!!!!!

hughes:
Tire or Rim problem :?:

Torch654:
Cam,

Thanks for the long term review on these tires. I am going to have to replace both the tires on my new-to-me K5 and I am going to get a set of the Kenda's since you have had such good luck with them.  :D

machine,

This advice is from 18 wheelers but I thought I would pass it on. Spin the tire 180 then have it ballenced.

Robert
