Shockingly fantastic in winter slop. I was expecting them to be bad compared to my Sumitomos. Nope. Even better in slop. 100% recommended. Great in the dry with very low noise and super highway tracking. Finally found the grail of cheap and awesome.
Sumitomo is a fantastic tire. I run their summer tires all year around ( In Texas, heavy sedan ) very stable at 85 mph+, quiet and stay planted.
Sumitomo tires wildly out perform their price tag. Have had them on a bunch of cars over the years and have never been unhappy about it.
I personally have sumitomo and I really like them. Good traction. Good for regular road driving or mountain driving and all weather. A little bit pricier, but I feel the quality is worth it.
I will add that I saw that Consumer Reports gave a surprisingly good review of the Kenda Vezda Touring 4S.
Dry braking: 4/5
Wet braking: 3/5
Handling: 3/5
Hydroplaning: 3/5
Snow traction: 4/5
Ice braking: 4/5
Ride comfort: 3/5
Noise: 4/5
Rolling resistance: 3/5
Tested tread life (Miles): 50000
Verdict: "Pros: Impressive snow and ice grip as well as dry braking performance. Cons: 50,000 mile projected tread life based on CR's test is so-so. CR's Take: A great choice if winter traction is a priority."
I have the AT’s on my cannon and they’ve gotten me places a cannon shouldn’t be going. Worn reasonably. Not sure how RTs go but I recommend Kenda.
Previously, Sumitomo P03 that I got rid of at 35k because LOUD. Otherwise durable and great in snow. A little unsettled at speed.
I cant speak for the K657 specifically, but I ran a Kenda K761 rear on my CM400. I found that the Kenda tire chipped and fragmented really easily but otherwise was just an OK tire.
This Tire Brand Has The Lowest Customer Satisfaction Rating, according to Consumer Reports
Absolutely not. Radster trail. Can't get replacement tires anywhere. Particularly the original Kenda Havok Tires that came with it.
