I will add that I saw that Consumer Reports gave a surprisingly good review of the Kenda Vezda Touring 4S.
Dry braking: 4/5
Wet braking: 3/5
Handling: 3/5
Hydroplaning: 3/5
Snow traction: 4/5
Ice braking: 4/5
Ride comfort: 3/5
Noise: 4/5
Rolling resistance: 3/5
Tested tread life (Miles): 50000
Verdict: "Pros: Impressive snow and ice grip as well as dry braking performance. Cons: 50,000 mile projected tread life based on CR's test is so-so. CR's Take: A great choice if winter traction is a priority."
I have the AT’s on my cannon and they’ve gotten me places a cannon shouldn’t be going. Worn reasonably. Not sure how RTs go but I recommend Kenda.
I mean if you’re really wanting the best value to enjoy gravel riding on your xc bike, tires tires tires. Find a good deal on some Thunder Burt, raceking/dubnital, kenda rush, air trak/renegade, Aspen st and you’re cooking
Not on your list but I have a set of Kenda Klever at2's on both my daily 1st gen taco and my 94 t4r trail rig. I have no complaints about either. Good on road manners and not too loud. Been good in snow and offroad as well.
Maybe I am missing something. The Kenda tire sidewall says 30 - 50 PSI. Normally I would inflate to 45 PSI or so for road use. When I put an inflator on the tires they become quite firm at 15 - 17 PSI and ride well without excessive drag. It also feels right from the thumb on the tread test.
I found the Porsche to warm up pretty well by like 2 - 3 laps. Easier to brake. Braking distance a little shorter.
I cant speak for the K657 specifically, but I ran a Kenda K761 rear on my CM400. I found that the Kenda tire chipped and fragmented really easily but otherwise was just an OK tire.
Kendas are drift or low budget track tires. They’ll work but might be loud when driving
Lol as someone who comes from a Porsche owning family, the 265 tires up front and 295 in the back will automatically bankrupt you. Nothing like looking for a winter set of tires and wheels knowing you have to get Audi spec 5x112 wheels with tires wider than dump trucks that are triple the cost of 17 inch 225 tires with half the life.
Almost did the same thing with my 992.2 GTS with the same tires. I was doing 10kph UNDER the speed limit since I was all over the fucking place. Horrible tire for the rain.
