Tires KENDA or WEST LAKE
I doubt anyone will thumbs up this since they’re cheap tires, but the Kenda Kwik Tendrils I have (26x1.75) I really like for city riding. Folding bead, fairly supple, never had a flat in over 100 city commute miles.
Kenda Klever RTs. I've never been so happy with a tire. I also ran Terra Grappler G2s that seemed to do well.
I run Kendra honey badger 2.05” wide so my fully ridged xc carbon bike. They’re great all round tyres. Get a bit slippy on the sloppy!
I've been running the Kenda Kruz on my Wide Glide for a few years now, I'm very happy with them! Great rain tire and I get more miles out of them then Dunlop tires.
Kenda Bearclaw HTRs are some of the longest lasting tires out there.
I’m running the AT2s on my rig in 265/75-16. Really solid tires for the money. So far I’ve got about 5-7k on them. Drove cross country and they did pretty good on the highway loaded down with gear, and not too noisy either. Decent off-road as well.
I used Westlake tires on an old car I drove in high school, like others are saying there basic economy tires, are they best? Of course not. Will they get you to where you need to go? Yup.
Holy Rollers (in 26" at least) have pretty thin sidewalls and I've gone through a couple due to punctures, but have had good results with the Kenda small block as a rear tire
Westlake tires are becoming a "known" brand name. It still doesn't change the fact they are a low end Chinese tire. That said, they will wear out fast as with all other Chinese tires the tread compound is very soft (low treadware rating). They don't hug corners well, there not fantastic at shuttling water, they are horrible in adverse terrain/weather, & they can be difficult to balance.
For rears, Ironman Imove or Accelera PHI. Kendas are overrated.
