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

I have the AT’s on my cannon and they’ve gotten me places a cannon shouldn’t be going. Worn reasonably. Not sure how RTs go but I recommend Kenda.

Pros: worn reasonably, recommend Kenda

Not on your list but I have a set of Kenda Klever at2's on both my daily 1st gen taco and my 94 t4r trail rig. I have no complaints about either. Good on road manners and not too loud. Been good in snow and offroad as well.

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

second winter with my mk8 as well over on the east coast. the frequent issue I run into is my front assist being unavailable from snow / ice. Otherwise I find it very smooth in the winter, I almost prefer winter driving as opposed to spring-fall. my car drives better on my 17" winters than my 19" oem wheels.

Pros: very smooth in winter
Cons: front assist unavailable

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

Two things:

1. That is a straight MOT failure because it's dangerous.

2. Your choice is to replace the tyre today, or the wheel **and** the tyre tomorrow.

Cons: straight MOT failure
Vehicle: Volkswagen
