Tires SUMITOMO or KENDA

I went from Sumitomo HTR Z2 tires to Michelin Pilot Super Sport and was left very disappointed in the Michelins. Initial turn in suffered (slight delay from steering input to vehicle changing direction). The Michelins are like sticky gummy bears, the Sumitomos had much stiffer side walls and that made driving far more enjoyable even though they were less sticky.

Kenda Klever A/T2 KR628. I've had them on my R50 for the past year. About 10K miles so far. Solid overall and reasonably priced.

The kenda klever a are good tires. I’ve got them on my 4 door jeep. Ride nice. Handle everything out and about I get into

Currently running Kenda Klevar RTs and I think they are my favorite to date, super quiet on road, just did elko to Austin via the BDR, no issues in mud, they were so comfortable on the trail today that I never stopped to air down, great in the rain, got mixed up in the crazy rain in Utah Sunday and no issues. I’m also partial to the kendas because they offer 35x10.5s

I run my Klever RT closer to 35psi. Haven't had any issues, even with a jacked up alignment.

I have kenda K908 on my commuter now. Yes, 26".

The middle part gives good rolling, while sides dig deep enough for light gravel. And wear is very good. Already did like 600km on these without any signs of use.

I went with Solar 4XS+ available from Walmart. They are manufactured by Sumitomo tires. These came in really cheap at $350 for all 4 tires including lifetime balance and rotation and road hazard warranty at Walmart. These are 89 H rated, so a bit soft which cut down the road noise a lot compared to my previous Bridgestone Ecopia. Efficiency is the same as the Ecopias at 4.3 mi/kwh but they ride smooth and quiet.

Reviews say its major shortcoming is that it generates a lot of loud noise.

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

I don't know if anyone has had the same experience with the 270, but my Kenda 280s have been awful on wet roads. Like riding on ice... Truly scary. I guess because the rubber compound is cheap. May not be an issue if you live in a dry climate.
