Tires KENDA or OEM Subaru
I’ve also used 26x2.3 Kenda K-Rads. A little heavier, and not a supple, but the tires wear very slowly. You can get a ton of road mileage out of them.
Kenda happy medium is nice in 2.3. Fast rolling, not too heavy or expensive.
Nevegal is a much better choice for cornering than ardent. I've done nevegal front/ardent rear before, but I really would be reluctant to push cornering speed on an ardent up front.
I have them on my 250l and they work great, they get the job done off road while still providing a lot of grip on road. The tire compound is quite soft which helps on road.
Nope, you don't need to change all four. I had a similar problem on my Subaru Legacy years ago, and I simply bought one new tire and then took it to a local race shop and had them shave the new tire to the same depths of the old one.
I had Kenda Kountachs and they served me well, only really got pinch flats ever and that was 100% my fault.
Nothing wrong with Kendas. They get the job done.
Talk to Daelen at MAP. He can set you up with Kenda Tires at a discount. With a KA you should make it through multiple events on one set of Kendas.
In run kenda K35 tires (but not gumwall) and they are ok budget tires. They work well but are not especially light, grippy or puncture-resistant.
I liked the feel of Nevegals, but mine started to fall apart about 4 months after getting them. Durability seems to be an issue for myself, and some other people after reading other reviews.
