Tires Laufenn or KENDA
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.
Run them on my personal vehicles and rental vehicles. 10-15k per year and see no issue. They easily last the 50k warranty. They balance well, and install easily, good bead that sets properly and has no issues
I have these on my 01 GMC Yukon that I use for hunting/camping ( budget build). They've exceeded expectations in mud/rain/snow.
I bought Laufenn for my Cadillac XT5. So Quiet & So smooth , just what I wanted.
I am about 2 seconds off pace of what I was on the falkens comparing my self to other drivers that I would be trading blows with. I will say I like the kenda alot for street driving and wet weather traction how ever it seams they are about 2 seconds off the pace of the Bridgestone.
If you're okay losing by a big margin but are focused on self-improvement, try running Kenda Vezda KR20a's (make sure it's the 200tw version). They are dirt cheap and stupid durable.
I purchased Kenda
Vezda UHP Summer full set tires. I have a SL550 Mercedes I purchased them 2 months ago, I have 4000 miles on the tires I went to get a tire sensor, the tech at Discount Tire show me all my tires are cracked and splitting one going totally across the tread, worst set of tires I've ever bought in my life 60 years totally defective and dangerous
I rented a car that had Laufenn tires last month. Drove for 20 minutes and had a blowout on both passenger side tires. This was driving on city streets!
