That's why Kenda tires for Schwinn S7s are junk.

I'd still proclaim the tires isn't seated correctly. Clean the bead seat, lube with soapy water, and over inflate a few lbs till it pops into place.

I am thinking the rear tire is not seated correctly.I have never seen even cheap Kenda's with the whitewall that far off.I would deflate and reseat if necessary.

I had a 26" Speedster built up as a big Stingray. My bony 45 year old butt can't take the banana seat.
Swapped the stock "S" seat on, and all was well.
Now I ride a 53 Panther with Stingray bars and original style seat.
Banana seats are good for ten year old butts.
I have considered trying out the one company who makes the thicker padded adult butt freindly banana seats, though. They even have slightly longer ones that look more proportional on a 26" bike.

The Kenda S7s repo are good tires as long as the are seated properly, which is sometimes a PITA.....

I had one I couldn't get seated, so I took it to the local bike shop where they had a Park Tool PTS - 1 Tire Seater. The guy grabbed hold of the tire and yanked, and it popped into place. It took about two seconds, but he had probably had some practice.
