Can I use these in Kenda K161 27 x 1 3/8" tires? If so, what inflation pressure should I use? The tires say to not exceed 70 PSI.

This tire is over-sized...so my opinion is yes, it will easily fit. 700cm = 27.5 inches, 1-3/8 inch = 34.25 cm, and the tube sizes have some wriggle room. My experience with these tube was -VERY heavy in the wheels, did not ride well at all -an excess of tube given the quoted size. As to the psi...they are most likely quoting a factor-of-safety for their welds, and the fos would typically be 2.5. So, the tubes COULD be inflated to over 110 psi...but you'd be taking a chance. Or, they just pulled the number from their butts. BTW, personally, I'm just going to go with a better tire and use cheapie tubes. Did not care for these tubes in the least. Good luck!

Short answer: Heck no, don't inflate your tires to the maximum pressure shown on the sidewall. If you do, the tires will wear out in the center very soon. Then you'll be shopping for new tires.

the recommended tire pressure is printed on the side of the tire. My 700 x 25 has a high pressure rating of 103 psi. The 700 x 23 is probably a little higher, but once again look at the tire!

I also swapped out a pair of Kenda 26 X 2.1 Knobby Tires that came with the Mountain bike (Diamondback Response) with these. No problems.Since I'm mainly doing asphalt or hard road riding, it's good to get some street tires. You can really feel the difference.

Here is the information from the manufacturer: Straight Foot 516 / S-516 with Lock On Threads1/8"-27 NPT need to hold chuck on tire (15") valve during inflation

I believe these tires might be wider than your stock tires. Get the exact measurements from Nitto and compare to your size tires. They might rub when you turn.

My tire size is 700x40 C. Min tire pressure 50 PSI. Max tire pressure 85 PSI stated on tire

sorry it took so long, these tire rule. they say 35-80 so should take the load. they also have a nice ridged construction.

I was not able to get them to work for my applucation. Air leaked out of the tire when I tightened them up. Some comments suggest that they are intended for tire inflation only.

i have also a old 27 and using p45 in it. it depends really not in the tire but in the frame, you should measure the frame, at the back and if it measure 45, you can fit a p45, if it measure up to 35, p35. you´re tire will be fine with both, but if you use can use p45, then you can have wider tires and more tolerance with your tires.

Previous answers are WRONG. These tires are the TL15703000, which are 8 ply and load range D, inflate to 65 psi max.I just got mine today. I took a chance and ordered them based on the model number. Great Deal!

The Kenda K838,26" x 2.125 is the best tire for the price, But is dose work better with a wider rim 34mm for the frt. and 39mm for the rear.Alex MTB 24 and 32 is what I run. You can but them from ebikesf.com or from some other dealer.

I agree with Kristoffer. I have 26x1.95" tires on my bike and they say inflate to 45-60psi, so I tend to go around 55psi.

I jumped about 5 curbs today on them. I had 45 psi in them. no problems yet. I was unable to run tubeless as they would not seal to the rim so I have tubes installed.

The 26x2.10 would definetlty look alot skinnier than what your original tires on your bikel ook like now. I know because theses Kendas are the same size as the tire on my bike and they look thinner. They are great tires all around but I would reccoment that you try to find a bigger tire for your bike.

The kenda tires are good i would def. Buy another set ive had them about a year they get a little choppy but rotation is key. Great tire.

25 mm and 25 mm at approximately 80 psi ? did not check tire pressure not sure about that. used a vernier caliper. hard to tell if i got the height correct from the edge of the rim the furthest from the hub to the top of the tire was 25 mm but again had to guess a few mm as the caliper did not go all the way across the top of the tire. hope that helps. i assume that the tire pressure is at eighty psi because i have not inflated them for more than a week.
