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 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.
For example the K193 Tires were made to be super puncture resistant at a higher PSI than the first K Series(100PSI) but due to budgeting, they had to sacrifice handling, and also some rolling resistance, they do roll nice but not the best, they handle like crap, and aren’t not safe in the rain despite being advertised as such..lol… they also wear like iron, after 8,000 miles i still have life left them in and never had any puncture issues compared to other tires.
Not the best I've had in the snow but not the worst either. we generally take the truck camping, so have had instances of wet grass, mud and such and it works well. Very gooey mud is a problem. It's performed well on some very steep dirt road mountains in Arkansas, just keep up the momentum, but had pretty low slipping considering that particular road.
My only issue I've had that concerns me is they were not balanced properly. Didn't learn of that until I started bumping on the road, at which point some flat spots were formed.
Mine are now just under 9k wear and have become noisey AF. Not to mention they seem to grip less and less as they get used. On a 2015 GTI and I have the car aligned twice a year with winter/summer seasons tire swaps. New they were awesome.
tread ware has been very good it took my mechanic an entire box of weights to balance them and they still shake ride quality on the highway is terrible wont buy again
