Tires Firestone or KENDA
My dad put Kendas on his car (from Hyperdrive) and has been very happy with them. Good durable value from a pretty reputable Taiwanese brand.
I bought a set of 31 mph ***ebike rated*** Kevlar lined Kenda street tires when I converted my Yamaha mountain bike from the stock aggressive knobbies - among other mods. My use is 100% street.
I ride them hard at high speeds almost every day, take round abouts at absurd lean angles and have ZERO complaints.
The tires have probably 10k miles on them? They are Firestone Firehawk A/S V2s, so decent sporty all seasons. They are pretty decent I’d say.
I'm on my 3rd year with Firestone Firehawk A/S tires. Roads in Oklahoma are crap around here. But no problem with my 18's.
Firestone Weathergrips are great tires. I had them on a 2011 Escape before it got hit by a retard. They handled an Alberta winter no problem, however my studded winters were obviously still better.
I have these on a BMW 528i and they’re great. Good responsive steering and is confident in canyon carving in Colorado. I disagree with every negative you listed.
I've had great luck with firehawk indy 500. They're 320 tw. I'm an okay intermediate driving a 2010 mx5. I'm not sliding the car around much at all.
They're great street tires and have been able to get more than 6 track days on them thus far. Tires still has more in them.
Airing up tires would be about the only thing I'd trust Firestone with and it would have to be free to even trust them that much.
761’s were the tire that came on my NX650 when I got it…I don’t think I’ve used a more “meh” tire. The front cupped badly, sketchy in the rain and really, really sketchy off-road. They did last forever though!
These tires are terrible. I’m in MA and they struggle in light snow. Mine only have 32k miles but I’m replacing them asap because they are actually dangerously bad, even in 4WD
