I've got Kenda Kwests on my EZ Sport. There's been no real problem with them. I did put tire liners in them cause I hate fixing flats. Haven't had a flat since I put those in.
On my trike, I've got Marathon Slicks. I didn't have any problems for the first 1700 miles and then had three flats due to bits of steel belts left from car tires. After that my next flat was at 2800 miles. It was then I noticed a cracking of the side wall down to the cords next to the rim. I replaced two of them and still have one on the trike at 3100 miles. The thing is, the tread(which there is very little of) showed almost no wear. If I change tires it will be because either they quit making them(rumor has they have) or I will try to find some tires that are just as tough while riding softer.
