FAQs
What does 'TT' mean on the tire designation?
'TT' stands for Tubed Tyre. This means the tire requires a separate inner tube to function and cannot be used tubeless.
Can I use this tire on the road only?
The Kenda K6318 has an aggressive off-road tread pattern. While usable on the road, it may offer less grip on pavement than a dedicated street tire and might wear faster. It is best suited for mixed-use or predominantly off-road riding.
How do I know if this tire is compatible with my motorcycle?
Verify that the tire size (e.g., 90/90 19), speed rating (52P), and type (TT) match the specifications recommended by your motorcycle manufacturer for your specific model. It is the OE fitment for the Mash Scrambler 400.
Are these tires sold in pairs?
No, these are single tire listings. You will need to purchase the required quantity separately for front and rear fitment if needed.
What is the advantage of the aggressive tread pattern?
The aggressive tread pattern provides enhanced traction and grip on loose surfaces like dirt, gravel, and mud, which is beneficial for off-road riding.
How long should this tire typically last?
Tire lifespan varies greatly depending on riding style, terrain, load, maintenance (like proper inflation), and the specific compound used. Following care guidelines and avoiding excessive wear will maximize its life.
Troubleshooting
Tyre does not hold air pressure
Ensure the inner tube is correctly installed, check for leaks around the valve stem, and verify the rim is in good condition and compatible with a tubed tire. Inspect the rim strip for damage.
Vibration or imbalance during riding
The tire may require balancing. This should be performed by a professional mechanic using appropriate balancing weights. Ensure the tire is seated correctly on the rim.
Poor grip on wet surfaces
While designed for all-season use, optimal performance on wet surfaces depends on tread depth and tire pressure. Ensure the tire is not excessively worn and is inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure. For very slick conditions, reduce speed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a Tubed Tyre (TT), meaning it requires a compatible inner tube and rim strip to be installed. Ensure the correct size tube is used. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended to ensure proper seating and safety.
Compatibility: The Kenda K6318 is the original equipment fitment for the Mash Scrambler 400. When listed as universal fitment (Front/Rear), it means the tire's construction is suitable for either position, but always verify the tire size and specifications (e.g., 90/90 19 52P TT) match your motorcycle's requirements and legal specifications.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- Regularly check tire pressure, especially before long rides. The correct pressure for TT tires is crucial for performance and safety.
- Inspect the tire tread for wear, cuts, or embedded objects. Replace the tire if the tread depth is below legal limits or if damage is evident.
- Keep the tire clean from excessive mud or road salt, which can degrade the rubber over time. A simple rinse with water is often sufficient.
