So I have Kenda Scorpions in 22x11x8 on the rear of my 250SX and a Kenda Front Max in 22x8x10 on the front and I have noticed all the tires look kinda smallish especially when parked next to other brand tires of same "size". I got out the tape measure and found that all of the tires are well under 22". I even pumped all the tires up to well over operating pressure to see if I could get them up to a full 22" and they at best are 21" to maybe 21.5". WTF? Kinda ticked. Anybody else notice Kenda tires running small? I don't think I will be buying Kenda again.

I've noticed my "king" tyres on my big red 250es are like that, meant to be 25inch but are not even close. I want to get rid of them and get a set of 2 ply knobbies but hard to justify junking tyres that are only half worn. Kenda is meant to be a reputable brand too.

The best knobbie tires are the Cheng shin and dura knobbie. We have Kenda scorpions on our ATC 90 and we have no gripes as they ride god on a hard tail

Maybe I'm just being nit picky but a bit irksome when you expect accuracy when making buying decisions.
