Tires YOKOHAMA or KENDA
I’m running the AT2s on my rig in 265/75-16. Really solid tires for the money. So far I’ve got about 5-7k on them. Drove cross country and they did pretty good on the highway loaded down with gear, and not too noisy either. Decent off-road as well.
Just picked up some dirt cheap 26" tendrils to replace the nobbys on my stumpjumper commuter. Hope they do well with glass riddled roads, but honestly at $10 a pop it's not a big deal if they don't.
YEARS ago, had to be over 12 yrs, Kenda was selling FLAME tires for $5 each. I bought 30. I still have a few. They weigh a friggin ton, at least 2x more than a normal tire but they're pretty bulletproof and look cool.
I purchased four Yokohama Advan Sport A/S+ tires for my Mazda 6 this past February and have found the ride quality and noise mitigation to be a noticable upgrade over the OEM Dunlap tires.
I run Yoko Advan APex AD08Rs on the track and love them. Very sticky, very consistent, great track tires for wear and consistent performance. They last me about 14-18 track days (about a year of tracking for me).
On the street, they seem to work well, maybe a bit less grip than the OE tires when accelerating, but I don’t push it too hard on public roads so it’s tough to judge performance. They aren’t any noisier than the Continentals; if anything they might be a bit quieter.
Great set of tires, I have used multiple sets. Quiet on the road, works well in the wet, and works great for a lapping tire as well and a fraction of the price of its Michelin counterparts.
Just got rid of my Nittos for the Advans, so far a better tire. Best part is one of the few tires in the OE size that has a 25k mileage warranty.
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.
Flipped Yoko really sucks.
