Tires SUMITOMO or KENDA

Kenda's Slant Six was an amazing tire when worn with tubes on 26" tires.

Just got a set of Kenda Vezda this week, so I can’t really say much about them yet. This is the third time I have gotten Kenda. The last set was Kenda Kenectica, and I got over 50,000 miles out of them. They seem to be a pretty decent brand for being on the reasonably priced side. They lasted a lot longer than the Coopers that were on it before that.

Honestly man if you're looking for fun cheep tires, the Kenda 200utqg is available in your size its a good bet. It definitely slower than top dogs but it preforms well. Big plus on the kenda is they don't get destroyed by high Temps and have a long life. Plus if you run them on the street as well they do well in rain

I love mine. I got 40k on my last set. I just got the red letter kenda rt now. Keep them rotated every 3k, and they will stay quiet and ride amazing. I have 7k on my new set already and they look like new still.

sumitomo is significantly better than any no name Chinese tire

Kenda makes good tires, they're very popular in Asia. I got my set of Kenda KR20A 200tw, two 235 40 r18 and two 255 40 r18 for $550 brand new and they're extremely good grip wise, they do well in the canyons for me better than the set of indy500s I had on my car previously, however these make more noise than the indy 500s did and ride quality is slightly worse due to stiffer sidewalls but for half the price of other good performance tires I say kendas are good tires.

Gravel kings roll well and have a durable sidewall. Kenda will roll well but the sidewalls tend to be on the thin side and more prone to getting cut.

I’ve been running my kenda klever RT(35x12.5r17) for about 25-28k miles now. Wearing good imo, 14/32nds-15/32nds remaining when new was 19/32nds. I ran them at 30psi for most of their life and I wonder if that’s the reason why I’m having some issues with them. Mainly some balancing issues, flat spotting if it sits for a couple of days but it goes away once they’re warm. Kenda told me to run them at the psi my car says in the the door jamb. I have an 18 JLU. So i’m gonna test it now at 34psi. I suppose south florida heat, and heat from being at 30psi hasn’t helped them. I do love their rain performance and noise.

Im a tech who has installed these (customer requested) and had them on one of my cars a few years ago. The only good points about them were the tread wear and the affordable cost. They have a VERY hard compound which means they lose traction easy. I was told by a customer, as well as my experience, that they spun very easily on wet surfaces and were terrible in the snow. They were also noisy at highway speeds. I do NOT recommend them and dont sell them unless requested.

Kaisers aren't great. Some of the behaviors of a 200TW tyre but without the grip to back it up. Cheap and competitive with Indy 500 though from what I've seen on friends cars. They're slippery enough to use for drifting though so I wouldn't really recommend
