The Kenda 24 × 1‑3/8" Street K40 wire-bead tire is a dependable, budget-friendly option ideal for smooth-road and light recreational use. Constructed with a wire bead clincher design and a 22 TPI casing, this tire fits 540 mm (24") wheel rims and delivers a streamlined riding experience with its shallow, grooved tread pattern. Rated for around 55 psi, it offers a balanced ride—comfortable yet responsive—on paved surfaces like sidewalks, plazas, and urban streets.
Weighing in at approximately 446 g, the K40 is neither ultralight nor overly heavy, making it a solid middle-ground choice for everyday cyclists. Its classic black rubber sidewalls (sometimes complemented with tan gum-wall styling in specific variants) ensure it blends inconspicuously with most bike aesthetics while delivering practical functionality.
