Tires Falken or KENDA

For me, Falken/Sumitomo has been the perfect balance between value and performance

My Falken tires are extremely affordable and they grip better than my Pirellis in every real-world situation that I’ve needed the grip.

Would definitely recommend either of these to anyone. Dual sport is the way to go and these 2 give a more offroad vs more on road choice.

I wrecked hard on gravel with stock tires, went with Kenda big blocks and got all my confidence back. Little different on the road, would only recommend if you do more off road riding.

I can recommend Kenda Big Blocks, they’ve been great on every surface I’ve been on. I’ve done 4800km trip over two weeks and they held up ok. They lasted about 9000km in total.

Just put on 265/65/18 SL wildpeak at4w on an otherwise stock 2012 GX and can confirm that they will fit with no rubbing. Compared to the Michelin latitudes that were on before, the feel on the road is noticeably better, i.e. more plush but also more planted... if that makes sense. Road noise is minimal difference in my mind but I have a skybox on top so maybe I'm just used to it. Being in pnw, wet traction is a must and these should do the trick.

Have a set on Mustang Gt for over a year. Absolutely no issues whatsoever. Quiet, decent in the rain, better grip than the Falkens it replaced.

I like the kenda kasier KR20A , they are sporty and have great performance, plus they are relatively cheap

New tires. Got 63k miles from Toyos, decided to switch to Falken.

I had some Kendas on a K75 a decade or so ago and they were garbage.
