Default Kenda tires??

Has anyone tried these tires out? I was getting my law enforcement vehicle serviced the other day and my local garage had these in stock. Just wondered if anyone had experience with them?

what weight range is a 112/109? Are they E range (8ply or better)? they look like a good tread pattern, but I know I have never heard of them.

I emailed Kenda about 6 months ago asking if they were planning on making tires for larger wheels and they said they were in the process of development. I will for sure be keeping an eye for the tires in my size. I've used Kenda tries for years on my mountain bike and never been disappointed

I used Kenda's on my dirt bikes, and those were good tires. Dunno about the truck tires tho.

I can hear it now;

"What kinda tires are those?

"Kenda tires..."

"That's what I'm askin' -- what kinda tires?"


In any case, sure heard of them but typically for smaller motos vs full-sized truck tires. Maybe just lack of No. America marketing presence but I'll stick with well-known popular brands on mine...

I had a set of these http://www.kendatire.com/en/automoti...-car/kenetica/ on a Chrysler LeBaron I used to own. They were on the car when I bought it. I got five years out them, but don't remember the miles. The last four months with them was a little iffy with them in the snow. Other then that, they were a good tire.

I have these tires http://www.kendatire.com/en/motorcyc...et/challenger/ both front and rear on my motorcycle. They are a 10-ply tire in the size I use and they are cheap for what they are. They have good grip on both wet and dry roads. I am on my third rear (first was factory tire) and second front (first was factory) and will use them again when I need to change tires again.

I feel that Kenda is a good tire, they just don't have the pull that the bigger names do.

How many miles did you get out of your motorcycle? I'm going on 10k with mine on my Harley, but it's the HD spec tire from Cooper.

If these are that much cheaper, but with about the same mileage they might be a good choice for me.

I have been getting 7500-8000 miles on the rear. They cost just over $110. The stock tire is an odd size that only Dunlop makes and it costs over $200 from Honda and you can only buy them from Honda. The front is the same way. I can't tell you how long the front will last as I only have about 3000 miles on it and it barely looks wore. The stock rear tire only lasted 6000 miles and the stock front lasted 7500 miles.
