Tires KENDA or VITOUR

I have these on my tacoma and on second set. Been everywhere on them and no issues.

Kenda makes a fine tire and it looks good on the truck.

I have these guys on my V8 SUV. Didn't give them much thought, was a good deal, and ride quality is much improved. Mine balanced fine and look pretty new after a year and almost 10,000km. I don't drag or track race, I'll floor it occasionally for a thrill and I drive probably 160km/h max on highways.

Idk what these people above are talking about kenda vezda UHP A/S being bad. To me they feel 98% like a michelin pilot sport a/s or even a Conti A/S just at half the price of those tires. Cant beat em in my opinion, im on my 2nd set on my Elantra N

My dad put Kendas on his car (from Hyperdrive) and has been very happy with them. Good durable value from a pretty reputable Taiwanese brand.

I bought a set of 31 mph ***ebike rated*** Kevlar lined Kenda street tires when I converted my Yamaha mountain bike from the stock aggressive knobbies - among other mods. My use is 100% street.

I ride them hard at high speeds almost every day, take round abouts at absurd lean angles and have ZERO complaints.

I came across the Vitour Galaxy R1s — they’re V-rated, which is cool, but I’m not sure if they’re DOT approved. From what I can tell, they’re made by a South African brand (possibly China-owned) and seem to be geared toward drift/race use.

Just wondering if anyone’s actually run these? How’s the grip and overall quality? I’m aiming for a tire that can handle daily driving and still be fun in the corners without dropping $500+ on Avons CR6ZZ

For example the K193 Tires were made to be super puncture resistant at a higher PSI than the first K Series(100PSI) but due to budgeting, they had to sacrifice handling, and also some rolling resistance, they do roll nice but not the best, they handle like crap, and aren’t not safe in the rain despite being advertised as such..lol… they also wear like iron, after 8,000 miles i still have life left them in and never had any puncture issues compared to other tires.

761’s were the tire that came on my NX650 when I got it…I don’t think I’ve used a more “meh” tire. The front cupped badly, sketchy in the rain and really, really sketchy off-road. They did last forever though!

Do not recommend unless you can get a lot of heat into them. even on warm days they would need some time to get grip. If you're in Alaska I could see them not working well for like 8 months out of the year, and they're really expensive too.
