GRM tested this tire. It’s a good endurance tire for those on a budget who want to track/autoX their car. It’s slower than a 615k+ but costs significantly less. Good tire 👍
I've got them on my back road twisties car and love them. Though they never see rain or cold. I also buy now ones every 2 years regardless how little wear they have. Btw. They are made by cooper tire.
I wish you guys in the states could get Shibata Tires, they’re damn good tires for about the same price, if not less, than some stuff like these Kenda’s. I’m stationed in Japan and I’ve got Shibata R31s on my Forester and they’re fantastically well preforming
These are are basicly only good for lasting a long time for cheap and the tread pattern looks good. Ive run multiple sets of these no drifting just street autocross and track and they are by far the slowest tire like 7 seconds slower than a real 200tw (V730) on a 2 minute lap but they are almost half the price and last 50% longer the 255 265 275/35/18 sizes are all the same width when you lay them next to eachother just the treadblock is bigger and smaller so get 275 if they wont rub and you dont care about balance. as they wear they lose a few seconds and in the rain near the end its like a slick. If the pavement is destroying other tires these wont be that bad also the UHP MAX version 200tw has grip about like a PS4 but like not refined 300tw is the way to go or just get a real 200tw not a kenda.
I can vouch for your numbers, I ran them on my camaro on a 1:40 second course they were about 6 seconds slower than my nankang crs v2. I will say they are a great endurance tire as my 3rd lap and 17th lap were within a few tenths of each other
@@mickygadfly2361 Completely agree ill be using kendas as practice tires, they have good grip and last a long time. Ill use expensive super 200s for the competitions
I don’t care what anyone says about these. I have beens using kendas kiaser and vezda. They grip corner good and are fare priced! Are they as good as $200 + no they are not. The best way I can put it they are %80 as good but they are way way cheaper than the big brand companys. I run them on my Camry and civic and my f150 how they perform on other cars idk but if you have one of those cars they won’t disappoint you. They last me about 1.5yr if I don’t rotate them 2yr if I rotate them on my camry daily driving normal commute. On my civic they last me under 1yr with reckless driving and drifting in my truck less than a day give or take depending on how crazy I go but any tire can be burnt out in a day easily we all know that but at least I am burning $135 instead of $219 or so. Not the best in the rain but nothing dangerous or sketchy just take it easy it’s raining bro

Is it a good street/ occasional track day tire that last a long time and are consistent? Not looking for out right speed
Great review Alex! Appreciate the Support! 💯
Surprisingly good tire have them on my 500whp sc400 keeps it in check better than the falken rt I had
I have Kendas on my mtn bike 🤔. Can't wait for the snow test, or temps below 30*F, for us in the snow belt. ❄️
I know people using these. They're pretty good.
Wish they had a 305 in a 19"

I'm looking at these for my frs

@@jakejackson3107 I ended up getting another set because going fast is fun until you run out of money.

Great comment, thank you!
How do these compare to gt radial sx2?
That tire is an ASS KICKER! High hp rwd track attack/AutoX/drift king for the money!
Look like Hankook Ventus!!
Just checked your guys website and could not find the tire.
Same here, i wanna try a new tire on my GTI once the Nittos are done. Nittos and Contis are great but pricey
Why is a bicycle tire company making car tires??? 😉
because they can? don't they make motorcycle tires too?
@@K03sport Why is Maxxis, a motorcycle tire manufacturer, making bicycle tires?
Honestly they look uncomfortable af anyway but I appreciate the heads up
