Rating 5.0

I had to change tyres for my 5 series last month. I went with Dunlop (not runflat) and can feel a marked improvement in the ride quality over the run flats.

Pros: marked improvement, ride quality
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 10000 km

KENDA Tires

Kenda AT2 if you plan to off-road and daily drive, RTs if you are wheeling a lot. Made in Ohio, way cheaper, better performance then Goodyear's.

Pros: cheaper, better performance

I used them both on street and track on a gsxr600. I loved them for dry weather sporty street riding. On sunny track days, the rear overheats after a couple of laps and the grip noticeable reduces, but even then the rear is still very controllable and completely safe. No warmers needed and excellent wear.

Pros: excellent wear, controllable, safe
Cons: rear overheats, grip reduces
Vehicle: Suzuki

I just installed a set of Kenda 33x10.5r17's and have been very impressed by them. They were cheap to buy, run quiet on the highway, look good, and most importantly did great in the mud this weekend. 10/10 would buy again...

Pros: cheap, quiet, good in mud

Mine held up really well and was decent on the road and hard dirt and gravel.

Loose stuff though? Not a fan.

Pros: decent on road, hard dirt
Cons: loose stuff

I had my WRX for a year and a half, and the entirety of it spent on the stock Dunlop tires.

Above 50°F, go ham. Have fun. They're great.

Below 50°F, don't take high speed corners. If you normally go 40 around a corner, go 35 instead.

That being said, I never lost traction with them, even in 40°F rain. The only time they ever broke loose was when there was snow on the ground, which is expected.

Pros: great above 50°F
Cons: lose traction below 50°F

I put a Dunlop slick rear on recently and had a ton of trouble with it. It needs a ton of heat in order to grip but I never developed any trust in it and it has the worst traction of any tire I've used.

Cons: worst traction, needs heat

My Dunlops were noisy and slippery (when wet) when they were brand new and then got obnoxiously loud after 20k miles, i finally got rid of them around 25k miles and switched to Continentals.

Cons: noisy and slippery
Mileage: 20000 km

I was hoping my '22 SE wouldn't come with the Dunlops. It did. On TireRack, they're listed as the worst tire in their category. Spent about 5 minutes on each tire with a screw driver prying all the pebbles out of the Dunlop treads. Just going to use them, and replace with a superior option further down the road.

Cons: worst tire in category
