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.
For tires, I got the Pirelli P-Zero AS+3 tires for my GLI and they are really good. They beat the DWS06 tires in Tirerack and Tyre Reviews testing.
Kenda Vezda lasts way, wayyyyyy longer, like longer than RS4's longer
I just took off my winter tires from 2017 that have had less than 10k km use during 6 winters. I put on a pair of pirelli sf3 on the front and my old 2020 primacy 4 on the back. The car, a toyota auris feels SO much lighter and happy to turn and so, so much quieter.
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.
All new Pirelli Cinturato C3 on 19 inch are amazing. They are quiet, super gripy and predictable. And the sidewall is really cool.
The Pirellis are a tremendous improvement on dry pavement. I tried flooring it from a stop, and no wheel spin. Amazing difference. I haven't driven them in rain yet. I will say that they tramrail a bit.
The Pirellis are super soft. It improves high speed handling on dry roads, but they wear out way faster. Mine did this exact same thing after about 30k miles.
I had two cars that had pirellis, a VW GTI and. Corrado G60, I found them to be super stiff and prone to blowouts if I hit a pothole, hell it seemed like they’d blow if I saw a pothole! Pirelli got crossed off my list 25 years ago
Used to work at a tire shop 2010-2014. In their price range, we had the most trouble with Pirelli’s. Customers would complain about the ride or noise more often than other brands and they’d get them exchanged for Michelins or Yoko’s. They also arrived with more factory defects compared to others.
