Rating 4.0

I will add that I saw that Consumer Reports gave a surprisingly good review of the Kenda Vezda Touring 4S.

Dry braking: 4/5

Wet braking: 3/5

Handling: 3/5

Hydroplaning: 3/5

Snow traction: 4/5

Ice braking: 4/5

Ride comfort: 3/5

Noise: 4/5

Rolling resistance: 3/5

Tested tread life (Miles): 50000

Verdict: "Pros: Impressive snow and ice grip as well as dry braking performance. Cons: 50,000 mile projected tread life based on CR's test is so-so. CR's Take: A great choice if winter traction is a priority."

Pros: Impressive snow, ice grip
Cons: so-so tread life

I have the AT’s on my cannon and they’ve gotten me places a cannon shouldn’t be going. Worn reasonably. Not sure how RTs go but I recommend Kenda.

Pros: worn reasonably, recommend Kenda

Not on your list but I have a set of Kenda Klever at2's on both my daily 1st gen taco and my 94 t4r trail rig. I have no complaints about either. Good on road manners and not too loud. Been good in snow and offroad as well.

Pros: good on road manners
Cons: none
Vehicle: Toyota

Maybe I am missing something. The Kenda tire sidewall says 30 - 50 PSI. Normally I would inflate to 45 PSI or so for road use. When I put an inflator on the tires they become quite firm at 15 - 17 PSI and ride well without excessive drag. It also feels right from the thumb on the tread test.

Pros: ride well, without drag
Cons: firm at low PSI

The best tire I have found for this setup is the Kenda K161 Knobby Cross 27x1-3/8 Gum Wall Tire. I have a set on a city bike of similar vintage and geometry and they're really quite good.

Pros: really quite good

OEM Audi Tires

Drove the car in the snow storm over the weekend. Did not feel safe with the summer tires on. Also, front windshield wipers froze. Had to pull over twice to scrape the ice off the front windshield. Otherwise a nice SUV. Comfortable and very powerful. Time will tell about the reliability. Cheers

Pros: comfortable, powerful
Cons: unsafe in snow, wipers froze
Vehicle: Audi

I cant speak for the K657 specifically, but I ran a Kenda K761 rear on my CM400. I found that the Kenda tire chipped and fragmented really easily but otherwise was just an OK tire.

Pros: OK tire
Cons: chipped and fragmented easily
Vehicle: Honda

That is 25% of your contact with the road, and from the look of the breaks, a sporty car so a lot of power going down on that wheel. I would change immediately

Cons: change immediately
Vehicle: Audi A5
