Tires KENDA or Shinko

- Have been running Shinko 777 tires on my FLHRSI which I'm very happy with, but am going with the longer lasting Shinko 999 tires next.

Kenda makes good tires, they're very popular in Asia. I got my set of Kenda KR20A 200tw, two 235 40 r18 and two 255 40 r18 for $550 brand new and they're extremely good grip wise, they do well in the canyons for me better than the set of indy500s I had on my car previously, however these make more noise than the indy 500s did and ride quality is slightly worse due to stiffer sidewalls but for half the price of other good performance tires I say kendas are good tires.

I got some Kenda tires last year, still driving great

I run Kenda fat tires. I have 1600 miles on them, and I ride on all terrain. Barely worn at all.

Put your size in Google and find something cheep. Kendas are cheap and reliable if they are available in your size.

Don't know what they make in Miata sizes, but kenda for me. Counterintuitive because they've relatively expensive, but I generally get 2x the tire life I was getting from ironmans, which more than makes up for the difference in cost.

Gravel kings roll well and have a durable sidewall. Kenda will roll well but the sidewalls tend to be on the thin side and more prone to getting cut.

I’ve been running my kenda klever RT(35x12.5r17) for about 25-28k miles now. Wearing good imo, 14/32nds-15/32nds remaining when new was 19/32nds. I ran them at 30psi for most of their life and I wonder if that’s the reason why I’m having some issues with them. Mainly some balancing issues, flat spotting if it sits for a couple of days but it goes away once they’re warm. Kenda told me to run them at the psi my car says in the the door jamb. I have an 18 JLU. So i’m gonna test it now at 34psi. I suppose south florida heat, and heat from being at 30psi hasn’t helped them. I do love their rain performance and noise.

They are loud and wear out quickly.

Kaisers aren't great. Some of the behaviors of a 200TW tyre but without the grip to back it up. Cheap and competitive with Indy 500 though from what I've seen on friends cars. They're slippery enough to use for drifting though so I wouldn't really recommend
