I just picked up a set of their cheapie K35 27" tires because they look the part (had to have gum walls for my World Voyageur and I don't really like Paselas) and I don't expect much of them but I will say that in 700c Kenda makes some better-than-decent, actually-really-good tires - its been a couple of years but I've used some of their road/race (Kaliente) and gravel/cyclocross (Small Block Eight) tires that I really liked and were a fantastic value.
