Tires Toyo or KENDA

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.

Ie enjoyed Toyo proxy sports

I went with the Toyo Extensa HP II because it was a good compromise on price/efficiency/grip/noise. My biggest complaint with the OEM tires was that they hydroplaned worse than any tire I’ve had on a car since the 80s and these Toyos are much better. Range is down, maybe, 2-5%, maybe more on longer drives at speed, but EVERYTHING else about these tires is leagues better…ride, handling, noise, braking…everything.

Needed tires for my CX-5 and they had these at the shop. So far they are better than the stock Toyo A36.

Toyos and Kumhos have served me well over tens of thousands of miles. Toyo Open Country AT3W and Kumho Crugen HT51. Michelins are known as the best tire for longevity and commuting.

Go Cross Climate 2. Replaced my factory Toyos last year and you really feel the difference and safety.

Toyo's are underrated af, really good tires, but wear out slightly fast to my liking (3y)

The KRads are so fucking good. Kinda heavy but they last forever.

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

Whatever you do, don't buy Toyo tires. They do not go well with the Sonic....worst traction of any tire I've ever had on a car in my 45 years of driving.
