I dont know what else to do....

It won't help your smoking situation any, but the first thing I would do is get rid of the "Kenda cruisers".

For me, I don't care if the mold nipples are still on the tires with a date code of last week, anything with "Kenda" will only last long enough to get the bike to where I can take the wheels off and change the tires. If possible, I won't even get on the bike, let alone fire it up and ride up the driveway to the shop.

Your preferrences may vary.

not my first choice but money was tight!!!!

For a dollar or two more per tire, the Shinko 230 Tour Master or the 712 Bias Performance tires are MUCH better.

OK, correction here. I just looked up prices at Tires Unlimited (other places might be cheaper).

Rounded to the nearest dollar and shown as Front / Rear prices:
Shinko 712: 51 / 62
Shinko 230: 61 / 75
Kenda Cruiser: 63 / 77

You could have saved a few bucks AND had better tires.

I like Shinko. They've done really well since buying the molds from Yokohama.
