Tires KENDA or GENERAL TIRE

After one week of ownership I purchased a new set of General Altimax rt43's (replaced the OEM Conti's) that are rated V, max 149 mph. They have worn like iron, have great grip and are very quiet, even after 20k miles.

I had 35" Kenda MTs on my JK. I got 80,000 miles out of them . The only reason I didn't replace them with Kenda was because there were none available at the time I needed new tires. I never had issues balancing them and I prefer how they performed off road over my current tires. The Kenda's cleaned out better.

After searching online, I found a brand called Kenda Klever. After installing them, I did a review video on the tires and what I thought about them. Overall, they have been a good tire. Alot of comments I have read say they are hard to balance. I have not had any issues with them so far. I plan on doing another 4-6 month update video review on them to see how they are wearing.

I've been happy with General Altimax RT43 tires on my previous cars, good balance of quality and price for an all around tire.

I've been running general g max as-05s and been pleasantly surprised with their performance. Nothing close to the 200 treadwear summers I've run, but decent for an all season.

I have put General Altimax tires on my older hatchback and think they're pretty good.

Nokian (any of their winters), Blizzaks (any of their winters), michelin x-ice or General Artic winter tires are the 4 brands that I stick to for winter tires. Nokian is hands down the best, Blizzaks and Michelin are a real close 2nd and 3rd and the generals are a solid budget tire that I used to run on my 240sx in ottawa way back in day. (I currently run General Grabbers on my pickup and they are better than the bfgoodrich that are nearly 100$ more a tire).

I currently have General Altimax Arctic, studded, on my 2013. So far they have been great, but we will see how they go in deeper snow.

Kenda is one of the better China made tires, but given the choice, I’d take the Goodyear’s and continue using my old wheels. It’s actually the choice I recently made.

I switched my winter tires for summers back on the Miata and noticed something odd. There are parts of the tread in the center on every tire that just seemed to have fallen off at some point. I bought the tires in 9/2015 and they had a 1012 build date. I was quite upset with Tire Rack that they would send me 3.5 year old tires advertised as new but they said there was nothing they could do. I ran them winter of 2015/2016 and again this current 2016/2017 winter. Last year they didn't have this separation and I have no idea what happened. I don't think it's something small that I ran over since it happened to all 4 tires. They're 175/65/14 General Altimax Arctics by the way.
