If they fit your needs then why not? I am not a brand snob and understand that tires are top of the list for safety but if no-one took a chance on the Falken Wildpeaks, Fierce Attitudes or others then how would you know they were good tires? XMT Buckshot mudders are sold all over the midwest and are one of the least expensive mud tires out there but get the job done. I reserve judgement on the Kenda's until I get to hear his review but Kenda makes decent motorcycle tires so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
