Tires Kumho or KENDA
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.
Went with the 730s all around this year, much much happier.
6months and 15k miles into a set of these on a ford escape. They're quiet and wearing well so far. Not as quiet as Goodyear which is the same price but still a quiet tire.
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 couldn’t find them recently for my wife’s CX-9 so we went with Kumho Crugens and they have also been great.
I got kumho ecsta on my wrx right now.
I run Falkens, but used to run Kumho, and they wear pretty quick.........
My Scout came from the factory Kenda tires. I am wholly not impressed with them, after 9,000 km they are just starting to scrub in for turning grip. I am also under the understanding that these factory tires are only good for 10,000km, so I will be changing none the less.
The addition of any moisture to the rear wheel, including from dew or fog reduces grip friction into the realm of nonexistence making for a disconcerting riding experience.
I don't know if anyone has had the same experience with the 270, but my Kenda 280s have been awful on wet roads. Like riding on ice... Truly scary. I guess because the rubber compound is cheap. May not be an issue if you live in a dry climate.
