My wife had a pair of those on her bike once, while they wore pretty good they got flats like crazy because at that price point they have no flat protection belt, they relied on thick rubber to ward off flats. As the tire wore down flats became more and more frequent. Guess who had to fix her flats? So I installed a set of Mr Tuffys, that did slow down the flats but only about 3/4ths of them, which she didn't like because she would have to walk home.

For a few dollars more you would be better off with Panaracer Pasela Protite (PT) tires, they cost nearly the same but the Panaracer has a flat protection belt. I was the first to use the Pasela TG (PT is a newer version), I put those on a touring bike I had and never had a flat, so I put PT's on her bike and she hasn't had a flat yet either. The Pasela tires have a much better ride quality and handling as well, and wears about the same as the Kenda.
