Tires KENDA or GT Radial

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 have high praise for their overall quality. I owned a set of Savero HT2 all seasons and ran them on an older Explorer. They wore like iron; outstanding quality.

I’ve also used 26x2.3 Kenda K-Rads. A little heavier, and not a supple, but the tires wear very slowly. You can get a ton of road mileage out of them.

Kenda happy medium is nice in 2.3. Fast rolling, not too heavy or expensive.

We tried a set on our HS Civic, then onto my codrivers CS NC. They're notably off pace from other 200tw (down in grip even to the RS-RR), but they wore like iron and communicated at the limit. Very solid for the money.

I have had great luck with GT Radial so far.

Nevegal is a much better choice for cornering than ardent. I've done nevegal front/ardent rear before, but I really would be reluctant to push cornering speed on an ardent up front.

Friend has a set, they are pretty good for how cheap they are, but they won't be as fast as most of the other 200 tw tires.

I don't know if anyone has had the same experience with the 270, but my Kenda 280s have been awful on wet roads. Like riding on ice... Truly scary. I guess because the rubber compound is cheap. May not be an issue if you live in a dry climate.
