Tires Vredestein or KENDA
The KRads are so fucking good. Kinda heavy but they last forever.
Kenda AT2 if you plan to off-road and daily drive, RTs if you are wheeling a lot. Made in Ohio, way cheaper, better performance then Goodyear's.
I've been looking for these for a long time and bought a brand new set in January. Great winter tires!
Go with the Vredestein. It has consistently been rated excellent with no drawbacks, whereas the Pirelli has gotten criticized for subpar wet traction.
I just installed a set of Kenda 33x10.5r17's and have been very impressed by them. They were cheap to buy, run quiet on the highway, look good, and most importantly did great in the mud this weekend. 10/10 would buy again...
Been riding the Kenda Small Block 8 without any problems lately, though I don't live in the "glassy" part of Berlin.
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.
If you’re in the Bay Area with limited winter driving go for the Vredestein Hitrac’s. They are quiet comfortable and within surly upgrade your ride.
So here is an update on the Kenda klever RT. Smooth rolling down highway speeds. Compared to MT’s they are pretty quiet wind noise drowns out the sound for the most part. Rainy weather they handle pretty good. Didn’t effect gas mileage none dash still says 19-20mpg. Snow handling……….it’s a 50/50 on that. I feel as if they are a bit looser then others I’ve ran but hold their own.
Routine maintenance at VW dealer alerted me to tire cracks. Cracks would be an understatement. The tires had 14,000 miles on them. They are meant to be under warrantee. The local tire store and I phoned each Vredestein and left messages. I wrote the company three times. No response.
