Tires KENDA or MRF

I have a pair of Kenda Slant Six in 60 tpi, they are good roller, grippy enough, and pretty supple. I do like them.

I've got 35x12.5R17 MT2s and they're about as you'd expect for a large knobby mud tyre (noisy and added vibration).

Off road, great tyre. Really good value too.

Possibly the MRF tyre fitted on R variant has less road noise than the Bridgestone Tyre fitted in the Elevate at the time of launch. If that is the case then it is a good move. There were complaints on road noise on the 2023 Elevate.

KENDA Venda uhp max. 200 tw, cheap, good in the rain, still real sporty

they have excellent grip

If you're okay losing by a big margin but are focused on self-improvement, try running Kenda Vezda KR20a's (make sure it's the 200tw version). They are dirt cheap and stupid durable.

I would add the kenda vezda kr20a 200utqg to the ok tier. I gave them a shot because they were nearly half the price of the Bridgestone in the same size and I needed a new set due to finished rt660s and didn't quite have the funding for Bridgestones at the time.

They are comparable to the rt615 and others you have in the ok tier however they have fantastic wet weather traction. And they talk to you at the limit

I bought a $500 bike (Scott Sub Cross 50) for my kid. Comes with Kenda Booster tires. On 2nd day of commute to school, tire ripped at the middle seam, around 3 inches long.

I wanted to love Kendas new line of stuff they dropped a while back. I threw a couple Regoliths on my mtb and destroyed the rear on the first ride. I never have tire issues.

Yes, Kenda tires are low quality. I bought a set with “flat protection” for my commuter several years ago. After less than a week, a 1/2” piece of glass created a gash in the front tread and casing and ruining the tire.
