Tires Nexen or KENDA

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.

Nexen winguard sport 2 have been just fine for me.

I put Nexen Roadian AT Pro RA8 on instead (they were on sale and had white letter sidewalls, I am old school) and honestly I haven't regretted it at all... I do some off-roading and deal with pretty severe winters and snow and the Nexens have been very good in those conditions and I have put a fair amount of interstate highway miles on them and they run nice and quiet.

I went with the Nexens and have been very pleased.

I like the kenda kasier KR20A , they are sporty and have great performance, plus they are relatively cheap

Nexen like all brands make different levels of tires. If you decide to buy the cheap ones your results will be indeed be bad. I bought a nicer tire that they make and have had no issues with them. It's actually the best ride quality I've had in my car. They drive better than Dunlop and Pirrelli P-Zero I had in the past.

Holy Rollers (in 26" at least) have pretty thin sidewalls and I've gone through a couple due to punctures, but have had good results with the Kenda small block as a rear tire

IMO those tires were bottom of the barrel. I would just replace.

I had some Kendas on a K75 a decade or so ago and they were garbage.
