Tires KENDA or Maxxis

I have the Kenda klever r/it's on my 2025 Tacoma TRD. I put 5,000 miles on them on the highway as well as in the desert in the sand mountains and snow. These are some of the best tires I've ever had, and certainly their price was very reasonable as well.

I decided to give the Kenda K270s a shot and first impression was that they're not great on street, braking is much worse compared to the shinkos and I got a bit of wobble/instability over 65mph. Finally got to try them on dirt and WOW. They are incredible on the trail. Very confidence inspiring compared to the shinkos.

Kenda Vezda lasts way, wayyyyyy longer, like longer than RS4's longer

I just ordered a set of Maxxis RC1 because of bad feedback I heard about the Proxes R. I’ve run the RC1 for a while now and they’re a great track day tire. Super consistent through long sessions and over many heat cycles.

I am using the Kenda Wintergen 2 on a Mazda CX3 and it's good. Way more silent than the original Toyo R52 summer tires. And it's okay in the wet too. I'm driving it the 4th year now and they are definitely not worse than the Toyos in the wet.

Nebenbei läuft hier noch ein Nissan Transporter, weil der relativ wenig gefahren wird auf Allwetterreifen:

Maxxis AP3 Vansmart

I just put a set of Rekon Race on my Roscoe. Haven't ridden the trails yet. Our trails are hard pack dirt, with a little sand, in the woods.

Well, the Rekon races came highly regarded but my second day on one I flatted (rear tire). Maxxis claims it was a pinch flat. OK, maybe but it should have held up.

I purchased Kenda

Vezda UHP Summer full set tires. I have a SL550 Mercedes I purchased them 2 months ago, I have 4000 miles on the tires I went to get a tire sensor, the tech at Discount Tire show me all my tires are cracked and splitting one going totally across the tread, worst set of tires I've ever bought in my life 60 years totally defective and dangerous

tread ware has been very good it took my mechanic an entire box of weights to balance them and they still shake ride quality on the highway is terrible wont buy again
