Kenda KAISER KR20

Read and heard alot about these being terrible in both dry and wet conditions, but I’m gonna be straight out and be as unbiased as I can.
Dry- I was able to cut seconds off my time on 74 canyon , keep in mind that I did not lower my psi from 35 all around . Couple of heat cycles and I was honestly impressed. Not the best of course but the soft compound on these tires helped in hot conditions . I have yet to log psi but that alone spoke volumes to me from a decent set that’s budget friendly
Wet- Same Canyon, no psi log in. Drastic character switch , I was able to drive at about 70% of what im capable of on dry asphalt . Not the best but it does have potential, what I mean is the tires feel like they can grip more but in reality they were begging to slide .Dont let this fool you and get comfortable, you can achieve decent grip though. So it’s not impossible . I was able to cruise on the I 10 at around 75 mph with pockets of water here n there , but the tires held .
Noise- I’m not gonna lie and sit here and argue but they are noticeably loud. Didn’t bother me as I’m not one for chasing high speeds ,only corners attract my attention.
Comfort- They’re not made for comfort plus the profile I went with sure doesn’t help with a thin profile of 35 . I wanted aggressive and that’s what I got .
Wear- Depends. I’ve only had these for about a month now .And ive already have a 1/32nds difference from the front pair to the rear . For the amount of practice sessions I’ve had they haven’t disintegrated. But again depends on how you drive .
Would I buy these again or recommend them? I would buy these again as it can be budget friendly and decent tires for what I want. I would recommend them but tbh it really depends on a handful of things like car layout , driving style, weight, power , setup, etc . I have these kendas 265/35 r18 on my 21 civic sport hatch 1.5t and I only have front and rear struts with a cobra intake not much but like I mentioned before I really do think it comes down to the driver and car because I’m not pushing a lot of power but I can sure give high hp vehicles a discouraging realization when they try to outrun me on the corners. As for high powered vehicles I can’t speak for as this is a huge factor for anyone’s experience.

I have these tyres fitted to my Skoda Fabia vRS diesel. Dry grip with them is average, they stick ok but you dont get much feedback or precision from the steering. Braking is fine in the dry even with big brakes stopping from high speeds. Traction is also acceptable.
The biggest downside is when the roads get wet! They are terrible. The car is very unstable and is actually scary to drive at any normal speed. I have to take corners and roundabouts very slowly, was following a lorry around a bend at around 15 mph and the back end of the car stepped out slightly. Traction wise in the wet I cant use full throttle until 4th gear as they just spin and the traction control goes mad. Braking is not too bad however they do grip ok in a straight line. They are also extremely noisy and give a harsh ride.I will never be using these tyres again, just changed to Goodyear Eagle F1 A3 and they are soooo much better.

This model Is a new tire which has been attached to the used car. Rather than the drift evaluation, will be the evaluation of the running about 900 miles in everyday use
And Taiwan kenda industrial tires, although there was to see the KENDA logo on a bicycle and two-wheel, without being seen in the four-wheel, and is the first time use.
After purchasing the car, but I was going to tire replacement, in particular there is no bad place, and yes it is because he felt a rather good.
And domestic label of Japan is unknown, US quality standards, wear performance 300, grip A, it was in the high temperature resistance A and the side wall.
Tread rubber does not have almost worn less. Still the corner of the block is standing.
I have unexpectedly surprised in a quiet tire. Cavity resonance sound and pattern noise is small. The pavement is bad road road noise is heard.
As in the Japanese sports tire, the structure is without firmly tight, it seems there is a flexibility, such as totally enclose the foreign brands par.
Whether the anti-degradation agent is contained in a large amount, notice and sidewall-ish when there are many brown. The future of the cracking worth watching.
Since the recent times is not the tire rolling resistance is small request, probably not the type to directly contribute to the low fuel consumption, it is like a tire balanced.
And manufacturing sales rather than those of the most recent, but seems to be the enduring model, I feel that why that's can be seen.

These are definitely the worst tires I have ever had. My original tires were Kumho and they were ok but are not available in Ecuador in this size. Generally, there is very limited variety here in this format.
So, I went for Kenda. From first impression, the tire was bad. The car is very sloppy, the side wall of the Kenda seems to be extremely soft. The car drives as is the shock absorbers are worn out. The car has 20.000 km, so that is not the case, also it was driving fine before the tyre swap.
On dry road it's ok but as soon as the road is a bit moist, it is really dangerous. Ecuador mainly has country roads with a lot of turns, up and downhill. This morning I was on a fast section downhill were there was a little bit of water running over the road in a bend. I almost spun the car. It was so scary. I have driven a lot of cars and tyres and have to say that these tyres are useless, unless you are only driving low speeds in the city.
