Replace 20x4.0 Kenda tire to motorcycle Michelin A39 tire
Yes, they are more weight, yes they resit puncture on another level.
Moped tire sizes are measured at the inside-diameter of the tire (just like motorcycles), but bicycle tires are measured by the average outside-diameters. A 16" motorbike tyre fits on to a 20" (407mm) bicycle rim.
406mm is the ISO standard and is what you'll likely come across.
If you want a thinner tire, check this out:
shinko SR714 16 x 2.25 moped tire, price $32.99
SR714 slicky tire for 16" wheels
speed rated 93 mph
3lb 9oz
16 x 2.25
"super easy to put on if you get the tire warmed up (leave it in a car, put it in the sun"

Radrunner motorcycle tire with good result
"currently using shinko 241s 3:00x16, they handle great and not as heavy as regular motorcycle tires so you dont lose much range nor speed" - Jeffrey G.
You can also fit 20x4.0 on Radrunner:

"Bra pris för tvÄ nya michelindÀck, montering efter alla konstens regler, rengöring av fÀlgar, byte av bromsbelÀgg (jag hade med egna nya), 1500 kr för allt. Kvitto med moms.
2 kilo tryck i framdÀcket och 2.5 kilo dÀr bak, rullar bra, och tyst." L. Berghe
"I have only driven it 5-6 kilometers since the new tires so I thought I would wait with a deeper analysis. It is quite clear, however, that the Rawbike will be more stable while traveling, no wobble anymore. Before, I experienced that the front tire sometimes tracked and climbed away on bumps, this tire is completely round, and feels "rounder", more stable.
My hope is that these tires will withstand wear much better than the leaf-thin Kenda tires. It rolls better too, even though I had my Kendas pumped hard." - L. Berghe

| Moped/Motorcycle tire: Michelin 100 / 80 -16 "A39" |
Photo and cred goes to L. Berghe
Michelin A39
100/80 – 16
"Michelin sets the standard for small- to medium-displacement motorcycle tyres. Effective on all the types of roads, the A39 and M39 combine comfort and easy handling. Their durable rubber compound makes them some of the most economical tyres you’ll find."

"Gets a little duller than the original (I drove at about 1.5kg) but you get a better driving feeling." - R. El-Ghezzaoui

M. Timbang Chooses Michelin City Grip 2 110/70-16

Motorcycle tire and 6.32 kg. The reviews for this tire are very good in wet slippery road and good traction in pavement specially wet and better for puncture but not on gravels or off-road.
It's heavy but ride feel in rain is awesome, good tire for curving and good traction in rain
This is 110/70-16 and compatible with 20" fat bike rims.
The rim measurement from end to end is 16 inch plus 2 inch of tire on each side equals 20 inches altogether.
----------------
Stock "premium" tires weighed 1.5 lbs each, new set 5.5 lbs each! They are a game changer!
