All Kenda ATV tires have been designed to be puncture resistant, not only in the tread area, but also the side wall. Each tire has also been compounded with a special tear and snag resistant material that not only extends tread life, but protects the tire against punctures from sharp objects as well. Most of our ATV tires feature a built-in rim guard that protects your rim and keeps dirt from wedging between the tire and the rim.
