Tires SUMITOMO or KENDA
I got some Kenda tires last year, still driving great
I run Kenda fat tires. I have 1600 miles on them, and I ride on all terrain. Barely worn at all.
Put your size in Google and find something cheep. Kendas are cheap and reliable if they are available in your size.
Don't know what they make in Miata sizes, but kenda for me. Counterintuitive because they've relatively expensive, but I generally get 2x the tire life I was getting from ironmans, which more than makes up for the difference in cost.
When I bought my Jeep it came with 37’s on it and I didn’t want to downsize so I ended up with Kenda klever RT for 1300 for all 4 which is cheaper then the Mickey Thompson a I run now ???? but they performed pretty damn well through the winter very predictable tire when breaking free. Ran them for close to 50,000 miles
Kenda Klever. I have personally used the AT2s and RTs and they are both great
Cheap Kenda tires will be heavy and not made terribly well. Not to the point of being unsafe, but there is a noticeable difference in performance between a cheap Kenda tire and something like a Continental race king or Vittoria mezcal.
So here is an update on the Kenda klever RT. Smooth rolling down highway speeds. Compared to MT’s they are pretty quiet wind noise drowns out the sound for the most part. Rainy weather they handle pretty good. Didn’t effect gas mileage none dash still says 19-20mpg. Snow handling……….it’s a 50/50 on that. I feel as if they are a bit looser then others I’ve ran but hold their own.
I had some Kendas on a K75 a decade or so ago and they were garbage.
On my '16 RT, the dealer installed a new set of Kenda KM1 sport touring tires when they prepped it to sell. I've put a couple hundred miles on the tires now, and I'm not crazy about them. Above 55mph, the entire bike feels like it's "squirming" slightly. You can feel a little instability in your hands, almost like you're riding on a highway with rain grooves.
