Thanks! I have been doing this over a decade but there is also a ton of stuff I don't know. That is the key to being good at what you do. Instead of being I know that it is better to say I am unsure. However with Kenda and Sunlite they are exactly the same and I know that well.

There is no maintenance free tires unless you sacrifice the ride to extremes like with those solid tires that were a great innovation from solid IRON tires back in the early 1800s but it is 2023 tires have come a long way and pneumatic tires are way better. If you keep your tires properly inflated and run tires with good puncture protection and quality rubber they are very low maintenance and so long as you don't keep your tires in bad areas (like near hot water heaters or in areas with high UV rays or with a lot of chemicals and such they won't wear out quickly.
