Used Kenda KM-1 tires. 100% highway/street commuting miles. I got 25,000 miles usage on the rear tire! I highly recommend this tire.
If you go with the cheaper of the two options, get the Kenda Kozmik's. They're similar to the Michelin City Grips and have the same dual compound tread. I've never had any problems with them and they've lasted well over 6000 miles, they hold the road in wet weather and do okay in light snow.
Kenda tyres also in Australia and these aren’t a cheap crappy brand. The R/T & M/T have a very durable casing and are good value for money
"200TW" ADVAN NEOVA AD09 last me about 25,000 miles even with an LSD.
Kenda kraiser KR20As are a great tire, wear kinda fast, but cheap to replace makes a good difference, or federal 595rs RR love this tire hooks all the time for me
Yes, they are good for the price. They last a while, but aren’t as grippy as other 200tw tires.
They do give great driver feedback due to stiff sidewalls, but this comes at the addition of road noise.
On track they come up to temp nice, and are gentle as they reach the edge of traction. They also don’t turn to ice when overheating, they just slowly start getting slippery.
Overall for the price, if you can only afford 1 set of tires, I’d recommend.
I have Advan V701s on my mr2 and for a 300 treadware they've got a ton of dry grip but they definitely struggle in the wet
Cheap Kenda tires will be heavy and not made terribly well. Not to the point of being unsafe, but there is a noticeable difference in performance between a cheap Kenda tire and something like a Continental race king or Vittoria mezcal.
On my '16 RT, the dealer installed a new set of Kenda KM1 sport touring tires when they prepped it to sell. I've put a couple hundred miles on the tires now, and I'm not crazy about them. Above 55mph, the entire bike feels like it's "squirming" slightly. You can feel a little instability in your hands, almost like you're riding on a highway with rain grooves.
For rears, Ironman Imove or Accelera PHI. Kendas are overrated.
