If they are anywhere close to as bad as the Kumhos that came on my GLI, your not going to have a good time. Get some Michelin Cross Climate 2s. they are supposed to be the best all around tire available.
Kenda makes good tires, they're very popular in Asia. I got my set of Kenda KR20A 200tw, two 235 40 r18 and two 255 40 r18 for $550 brand new and they're extremely good grip wise, they do well in the canyons for me better than the set of indy500s I had on my car previously, however these make more noise than the indy 500s did and ride quality is slightly worse due to stiffer sidewalls but for half the price of other good performance tires I say kendas are good tires.
I got some Kenda tires last year, still driving great
If you are looking for something cheaper,
Kumho Majesty 9 solus can also be an option
Their noise around the same level as top brand grand tourinf tires... like pirelli p7 as 3 or micherlin mxv4, continental pure contact.
very good at dry weather and acceptable at wet,
ride quality is good, but soso steering response.
Snow traction is vevevevery bad with this tire, almost the level if summer tire,but its georgia.
personally, I liked it.
I run Kenda fat tires. I have 1600 miles on them, and I ride on all terrain. Barely worn at all.
I decided to swap the OEM Kumho tires for a set of CC2s with just 350 miles on the car.
My butt sensor says the CC2s ride a lot more softly than the OEM Kumhos. The ride feels more compliant and less sharp over potholes, expansion joints, etc. I find the CC2's ride to be noticeably better than the Kumhos. The CC2s also solved 90% of the steering wheel vibration issue.
Currently running them, only got them because they came with the rims I wanted so I decided to run them. They’re ok.. much louder than my falkens so i will not be buying another set. They seem to be wearing fine.
I had these, but the 12.5’s on my JL i traded in for the gladiator. They were good for all but ice. My jl’s stock ko2’s were far better in the snow/ice and i actually missed having them. Live in Alaska so half the year slipping around wasn’t ideal lol. Just some info for anyone looking at these tires
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.
