Rating 4.0

I will add that I saw that Consumer Reports gave a surprisingly good review of the Kenda Vezda Touring 4S.

Dry braking: 4/5

Wet braking: 3/5

Handling: 3/5

Hydroplaning: 3/5

Snow traction: 4/5

Ice braking: 4/5

Ride comfort: 3/5

Noise: 4/5

Rolling resistance: 3/5

Tested tread life (Miles): 50000

Verdict: "Pros: Impressive snow and ice grip as well as dry braking performance. Cons: 50,000 mile projected tread life based on CR's test is so-so. CR's Take: A great choice if winter traction is a priority."

Pros: Impressive snow, ice grip
Cons: so-so tread life
Mileage: 50000 km

Le avevo 4 stagioni sulla Fiat punto del 2008, la mia prima auto.

Mi sono trovato molto bene, l'ho tenuta dal 2019 al 2022, sono andato anche sulla neve in montagna, in nevicata piena, e ho avuto zero problemi.

Pros: Mi sono trovato bene
Cons: Poi ho grippato
Vehicle: Fiat Punto
Mileage: 75000 km

Barum Tires

Avute per 4 anni su una c3. Uso misto, in ordine: collina, citt\u00e0, autostrada a velocit\u00e0 sostenuta.

In inverno nevica poco da me, ma le abbiamo testate un paio di settimane fa (vecchie di 4 anni) e siamo usciti senza problemi dal vialetto sterrato e innevato.

Pros: si sono comportate bene
Vehicle: Citroen C3

Pros: good on road manners
Cons: none
Vehicle: Toyota

I cant speak for the K657 specifically, but I ran a Kenda K761 rear on my CM400. I found that the Kenda tire chipped and fragmented really easily but otherwise was just an OK tire.

Pros: OK tire
Cons: chipped and fragmented easily
Vehicle: Honda

Kendas are drift or low budget track tires. They’ll work but might be loud when driving

Pros: good for drift/track
Cons: might be loud
