The tires were problematics as construction. Intense problem of vibration. Poor was the improvement after several balancing, rolling etc. Furthermore it was impossible the speed over 140 km/h due to intense noise and vibration. Αll the 4 tires had internal damage. Τhe sales company did not accept refund. On the advice of my service partner, the tires replaced with premium brand tyres. I learned my lesson! Economy brand and budget brand tyres...never again!
Low Budget Tyres but still great value for money. Grips well and provides good stability. Had used dunlop and lasted only 25,000 Km. Had used Michelin, lasted an impeccable 80,000Km. This Kenda also proves very durable.

I bought 2 of these tyres about 18 months ago because they were much cheaper than the oem Michelin's for my Fiat Grande Punto. They were fitted to the front of the car. My expectation of these tyres was not great given the price however, I was still very disappointed with them. In the dry they were OK although inferior to the original Michelin's, goodness me they were so noisy! In the wet I had to be very careful indeed as they made the handling of the car so unpredictable. Pulling away uphill in the wet with a fully laden car had to be done very carefully to avoid wheel spin, I could never pull away quickly on wet roads att all and I only have 80bhp! The level of grip under acceleration and during braking in wet conditions was terrible. Also when when corning on tight roundabouts in the wet my car tended under steer very easily indeed. I could not recommend this tyre for a Punto I would even go so far as to say that they were unsafe in wet conditions. I have taken them off the car now and fitted a premium tyre as I just didn't feel safe driving my Fiat in the wet.

Simply an avergae tyre, just for city and ocassional drive on highway. Good treadwear, average grip on wet and dry. They are noisy, a cheap option. Not a bad tyre, just an average one. Good tyre for city driving.
Seem to get very warm, very quickly on the motorway at average speeds. Also finding that they flex quite considerably when warm so pressure needs to be checked regularly. Bought in an emergency and considering changing.
Totally unpredictable on wet. I've being under some dangerous moments with those tyres, and spinning is a reality. It happen a few times even at very low speeds on wet surfaces, becoming ridiculous. Very bad on dry roads when driving on limit.
Too bad to be true.
Bought these as a stop-gap when my rear Federals wore down. At first I thought I had made a big mistake buying these tyres, as they felt half flat, had no grip, and made the car feel terrible (BMW E36 compact) however, it turned out that the fitter had underinflated them and they were still greasy with the release agent from production. Inflated to the correct pressure, and 30 miles later, they started making a lot of grip, far more than the Federals. They are also much, much quieter and far more progressive when they do start to slide. In the wet, they are again better than the previous tyres and when they do begin to slide it is gentle and predictable. The only thing I don't like is the amount of movement in the sidewall, but that's what you get buying a 60 profile tyre designed for comfort after having steel-belt sidewall performance tyres previously... all in all, an excellent tyre that have so-far outperformed the more expensive tyres they replaced... in my particular case at least.
I bought this 195/60/15H tyres to find something very cheap to wear my Alfa Romeo 147 Jtd's rims with.
My expectations were zero, I just wanted to find something better then the very old and squared tyres that last owner had.
This tyres were a big big surprise. Very quiet, very cheap, very good grip on dry and wet track. The thickness was initially 8mm and after 30000km was still 5mm in the front and 6 in the rear.
Successful!
Fantastic value for money. Good tires for a family car. If you don't need high performance tyres, these kendas will be perfect for you; very reliable in all road conditions, including mud and melted snow. And as all good radial tyres, they are very quiet.paid 190 pounds for four new tyres(incl. fitting, balancing, etc.)
I find these tyres better gripping in both wet & dry conditions than my previous selection, being Michelin Energy MXV8. They are also much more quiet and nowhere near as hard as far as road feedback is concerned. I'd buy again as they are a reasonably economical tyre to purchase when considering other brands.
