I wrecked hard on gravel with stock tires, went with Kenda big blocks and got all my confidence back. Little different on the road, would only recommend if you do more off road riding.
I can recommend Kenda Big Blocks, they’ve been great on every surface I’ve been on. I’ve done 4800km trip over two weeks and they held up ok. They lasted about 9000km in total.
I bought 4 new Ironman tires and I am still very content with them.
I had those on my Stock S13 (169 HP) on 17's and they worked like a charm.
Beautiful consistent Grip through the whole tire-life. I also didn't overinflate them. Ran them on 2 Bar cold pressure.
I honestly was impressed how well they worked on my car.
I like the kenda kasier KR20A , they are sporty and have great performance, plus they are relatively cheap
I got the ironman iMove gen 2 as, for about 600 CAD plus instal they are a all season and have been really good so far, just terrible in snow and ice other then that I'd recommend
I’ve been running my kenda klever RT(35x12.5r17) for about 25-28k miles now. Wearing good imo, 14/32nds-15/32nds remaining when new was 19/32nds. I ran them at 30psi for most of their life and I wonder if that’s the reason why I’m having some issues with them. Mainly some balancing issues, flat spotting if it sits for a couple of days but it goes away once they’re warm. Kenda told me to run them at the psi my car says in the the door jamb. I have an 18 JLU. So i’m gonna test it now at 34psi. I suppose south florida heat, and heat from being at 30psi hasn’t helped them. I do love their rain performance and noise.
Cheap Kenda tires will be heavy and not made terribly well. Not to the point of being unsafe, but there is a noticeable difference in performance between a cheap Kenda tire and something like a Continental race king or Vittoria mezcal.
I had some Kendas on a K75 a decade or so ago and they were garbage.
On my '16 RT, the dealer installed a new set of Kenda KM1 sport touring tires when they prepped it to sell. I've put a couple hundred miles on the tires now, and I'm not crazy about them. Above 55mph, the entire bike feels like it's "squirming" slightly. You can feel a little instability in your hands, almost like you're riding on a highway with rain grooves.
