i've been using kenda nevegals for about 8 years, first folding rear lasted 4 years before needing replacement, still using the same folding front today but it's getting a bit slick now. will change before winter comes.
then picked up a rear beaded tyre for 39.99 in oct 2000, been probably 50% on 50% off road
and it's still going strong riding on average once a week.
the beaded tyre was a bit heavy for the front end and affected handling but works great on the rear. the folding front is much lighter definitely improves handling up front
they're on old mavic x517 ceramics i found nos when i built the bike in 2014 and give a nice profile
