Tires FEDERAL or KENDA
I decided to give the Kenda K270s a shot and first impression was that they're not great on street, braking is much worse compared to the shinkos and I got a bit of wobble/instability over 65mph. Finally got to try them on dirt and WOW. They are incredible on the trail. Very confidence inspiring compared to the shinkos.
I just went from Federal 595 RS-RR (very loud but performed well on street and autocross) to their 595 RS-Pro (waaaaay quiter, I love these tires so far).
I also own a set of these, I can confirm. Fits my BMW very well as they used to make airplane engines, and these sound like a Messerschmidt prop plane.
Kenda Vezda lasts way, wayyyyyy longer, like longer than RS4's longer
I am using the Kenda Wintergen 2 on a Mazda CX3 and it's good. Way more silent than the original Toyo R52 summer tires. And it's okay in the wet too. I'm driving it the 4th year now and they are definitely not worse than the Toyos in the wet.
I have these on my 01 GMC Yukon that I use for hunting/camping ( budget build). They've exceeded expectations in mud/rain/snow.
From just some small spirited driving this weekend they feel softer than Continentals and like they are rolling under the rim.
I ran them on my ST. They handle like a 300tw tire. They became greasy on a really hot track day.
I purchased Kenda
Vezda UHP Summer full set tires. I have a SL550 Mercedes I purchased them 2 months ago, I have 4000 miles on the tires I went to get a tire sensor, the tech at Discount Tire show me all my tires are cracked and splitting one going totally across the tread, worst set of tires I've ever bought in my life 60 years totally defective and dangerous
I got federals once because bills were coming all at once. Worst tires i ever had, so noisy, rough on the road and just didn’t feel great. Snow they were actually great surprisingly.
