i'm just plan on going out offroading a bit more before i sell the bike and thats where i see how crappy my tires are. Not plan on doing anything crazy but if its a difference of like $40-$50 between crap tires and better ones, then whatever

And if for any reason i will end up keeping the bike, even after i get another streetbike, then i don't want to have to spend more money on getting better tires so its a preemptive strike
Hmmm well it sounds as if you are approaching this purchase with logic and intelligence. BTW any of these tires are rated to about 100 mph, so you're good there. I've never used Kenda, I've used Continental (in Europe), Pirelli, Dunlop, and Bridgestone. If you can get a super good deal on the Kendas then I would go for it. The other thing is, if you do get a street bike, you may want to spoon strictly dirt tires on your DR in the future.
