I've used standard Specialized tires for the past year, converting them to tubeless. I've had near perfect success (I've used 4 different sets of various Specialized tires). But I just got a set of Kenda Nevegals and can't get them to seal. They leak about 5 psi per hour. I've tried everything in the book including an extra scoop of Stan's. No go. A buddy of mine told me he had the same problem with the Kenda Small Block 8's. Anyone else have this problem with standard Kenda tires?

I had the same problem with a set of Karmas. It stopped once I got a good ride in on them they seemed to seal up nicely.

I've got Kenda Nevgal and they let out air too.

i hear the DTC models won't seal, are you running fully StickE?

I'm currently using Kenda Karmas (stickE) and having luck with them. They definitely need some rolling after the first attempt at sealing, but after that they are good.:thumbsup: I've been very happy with them. Especially since they are my first conversion attempt after running UST for years.

Scrub the inside of the tire with a scotchbrite pad, soap and water. This will remove the mold release agent and allow the sealant to coat the tire nicely and it will seal well. Or at least it does for me! I almost gave up on getting the Nevegals to seal until I tried this.
