Tires FEDERAL or KENDA
My dad put Kendas on his car (from Hyperdrive) and has been very happy with them. Good durable value from a pretty reputable Taiwanese brand.
I bought a set of 31 mph ***ebike rated*** Kevlar lined Kenda street tires when I converted my Yamaha mountain bike from the stock aggressive knobbies - among other mods. My use is 100% street.
I ride them hard at high speeds almost every day, take round abouts at absurd lean angles and have ZERO complaints.
Kenda UHP Max+ are a great double-duty tire. They last long and have great grip. They are pretty good in wet conditions too.
I had mt2 285/75/16 on my hilux surf, I now have Yokohama geolanders. I would say the kendas are a bit softer compound and quieter, but the geolanders are a bit better in the mud. The kendas were awesome tyres off and on road though.
I have the Kenda klever r/it's on my 2025 Tacoma TRD. I put 5,000 miles on them on the highway as well as in the desert in the sand mountains and snow. These are some of the best tires I've ever had, and certainly their price was very reasonable as well.
Just the loudest tires on planet earth. Boy do they grip through!
I would add the kenda vezda kr20a 200utqg to the ok tier. I gave them a shot because they were nearly half the price of the Bridgestone in the same size and I needed a new set due to finished rt660s and didn't quite have the funding for Bridgestones at the time.
They are comparable to the rt615 and others you have in the ok tier however they have fantastic wet weather traction. And they talk to you at the limit
I'm still waiting for the stock Kenda tires to wear out, getting close. Will be replacing them with Michelin city grip 2.
Yes, Kenda tires are low quality. I bought a set with “flat protection” for my commuter several years ago. After less than a week, a 1/2” piece of glass created a gash in the front tread and casing and ruining the tire.
Bought my cummins with klevers on it. They rode bad. Wore bad. Drove bad. Didnt do well in rain. Didnt do well in snow. Were loud as shit going down the road. I was sooooo happy when i finally took them off lol
