Tires MICHELIN or KENDA

BFGoodrich run me $220 a tire. Crap traction dry, horrible wet. Same price Michellin Pilot Sport AS4 work better wet than the Goodrich dry.

These tires are great in you live in bad weather state. Drive a lot of very bad weather. They probably louder. More comfortable ride.

Yep, these tires are *amazing* in the snow, and great the rest of the time, too.

Would definitely recommend either of these to anyone. Dual sport is the way to go and these 2 give a more offroad vs more on road choice.

I wrecked hard on gravel with stock tires, went with Kenda big blocks and got all my confidence back. Little different on the road, would only recommend if you do more off road riding.

I can recommend Kenda Big Blocks, they’ve been great on every surface I’ve been on. I’ve done 4800km trip over two weeks and they held up ok. They lasted about 9000km in total.

Amazing tire, and great treadlife compared to the Michelins. Just not as sticky for corners :/

I also have had bad experiences with conti tires both on my 2012 CC and my 23 Arteon. In both which I've owned since new the michelin pilot sports have been phenomenal.

I had commander 2s on my V-Star 650 and commander 3s on my Road Star. They perform pretty similarly in my opinion. My only gripe with the 3s is that they get this harmonic resonance at certain speeds. I thought my engine was having a fit. Turns out it wasn't the engine, the 3s just like to hit that sweet spot and send vibrations in waves. It's hard to describe.

I'm agnostic about Pirelli. Never owned a set of Michelin that I liked. Over priced, over hyped, and did not come close to mileage expectations. Yes, they were regularly maintained and rotated.
