Tires Nexen or KENDA

Kenda Bearclaw HTRs are some of the longest lasting tires out there.

Nexen winter guard sport.

I’m running the AT2s on my rig in 265/75-16. Really solid tires for the money. So far I’ve got about 5-7k on them. Drove cross country and they did pretty good on the highway loaded down with gear, and not too noisy either. Decent off-road as well.

I have a set of them. I have no complaints with them. They ride smoothly and are not noisy. A great tire for daily driving and in the rain. For the price, they are a nice tire.

Just picked up some dirt cheap 26" tendrils to replace the nobbys on my stumpjumper commuter. Hope they do well with glass riddled roads, but honestly at $10 a pop it's not a big deal if they don't.

YEARS ago, had to be over 12 yrs, Kenda was selling FLAME tires for $5 each. I bought 30. I still have a few. They weigh a friggin ton, at least 2x more than a normal tire but they're pretty bulletproof and look cool.

I put a Kenda K257D on the back of my bike to get through a weekend ride. It did surprisingly well on the asphalt but I don’t expect it to live long.

I have cheap Chinese I think, Nexan tires on my GTI because thats what the dealer put on the car. The ride real smooth, very quite and after 2 years and 20k miles they just wont' wear out. Probably have another 20k miles left to them. The wet grip is awful though. Dry grip is good.

They will work good in the winter on ice and snow but they will suffer on dry conditions and the highway. I find that once you are driving over 50 mph (80km) they turn very unstable and very floaty. Also, they will be loud and cornering on dry pavement is pretty bad.

Those tires are Nexen N7000's. A few of my cheap clients ran those and N3000's on their cars, years ago, I'd say late 2000 early 2010's. Cracked sidewalls, deformed tires, bubbles in the sidewall, and ridiculous amounts of road noise after a season of use, poor grip in pretty much anything except hot dry asphalt. I hope you have better luck with them than some of my clients.
