Machine,
I had that happen once. My tire was so out of balance I couldn't believe it. Took it off and guess what.....I had left a tire iron inside! (I wonder'd where that 3rd tire iron went). I agree with Hughes, it is a defect and Kenda should repace it. But look for a tire iron first (heh heh). Cam.

That's funny about the tire iron. But it happens to all of us.

Just put on a new set of Maxxis Front and Rear (Intermediate terrain) and went to Loretta Lynn's with them and I can say I am most happy with them... There were a couple of times I had to make a new trail up several hills that were a mixture of brush, sand and rocks and do not believe I would have reached the top if not for the LARGE knobs on the rear... So far, I'm pretty happy...

Hughes; I did what you said and emailed Kenda, this is what I gat back.

You shouldn't be having that problem with the Millville tire. Please provide us with the information below, and we should be able to send you a replacement front tire. Your front tire should be an 80/100-21 K771 Millville correct?

1. Shipping Address
2. Phone Number
3. Date Code from your front tire. The date code is a 4 digit number imprinted in the rubber on the sidewall of the tire.

Also, once I have that information, we will send a UPS call tag to pick up your old front tire. Once we have the old tire back, we will send it to our factory for quality inspection.

Have a good day,
Laura

So you were right!
I'll keep you posted!!!
Thanks again!!!!!!!!!

Update;

Thanks Kevin,

I put the order in today for your new tire. You should be receiving the replacement tire early next week. I'll wait till next week to send out a call tag to be sure you've received your new tire and have had a chance to unmount the old one.

Have a good day,

If only we could have service like that down here. Most times things like that happen to me, no-one wants to know ya. Good to see you have a win.
