Tires KENDA or GOODRIDGE
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.
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.
Kenda Vezda lasts way, wayyyyyy longer, like longer than RS4's longer
I have a set of RT's on my truck. They were put on at 59,000 miles...my truck has 133k miles on it now, same tires..and I'm JUST now about to put a new set on...but don't absolutely have to yet. I'm fed up with the road noise as they wear down
I am about 2 seconds off pace of what I was on the falkens comparing my self to other drivers that I would be trading blows with. I will say I like the kenda alot for street driving and wet weather traction how ever it seams they are about 2 seconds off the pace of the Bridgestone.
761’s were the tire that came on my NX650 when I got it…I don’t think I’ve used a more “meh” tire. The front cupped badly, sketchy in the rain and really, really sketchy off-road. They did last forever though!
They look to be mounted correctly; however, I find cheap chinese tires like those don't perform as well as good quality tires, are more noisy, and wear out faster.
