a bunch of forum members are running the kendas. They look awesome. I think I remember someone saying they had a hard time balancing their kenda M/T. Just my $0.02 but id allow your shop extra time to make sure theyre good to go.
Most issues with balance can be solved with proper alignment of the balance dots. That being said and knowing the motorcycle tire side well, you get what you pay for.
No issues with balancing with the 35x10.5's that I've heard of. Mine took very little weights. I have only seen one post with the 12.5's that commented about balancing. Could also be the shop you use.
No complaints with mine and over 4,000 miles. Quiet, good looks, great value and perform well so far.
