Default Kenda Kaiser KR20

I just came across these. For the unbelievable price of $133.99 for a 275/35/18.

Reading the reviews on simple tire, people are using them for drift as well as street.

Anyone here try them? I may just buy a set to put on my new to me wheels I am picking up on Sunday

Kenda has been around since 1962, they started out manufacturing industrial tires in Taiwan. You can find them commonly on new bicycles and e-bikes/scooters etc. They started selling automotive passenger tires in 2001. They have also done many joint projects with various mainstream tire companies throughout its history IIRC. Found out about them while watching some random documentary on JDM companies a few years ago.

Yeah,

Had their tires on my UTV (Polaris RZR). I was just wondering if anyone on HERE had used the KR20A.

I'm going to order a set. At 500 bucks for all for corners, it might be worth it

Not too bad.

BUT, I wouldn't drive much over 70 mph. With so few evacuation grooves, it felt a little squirmy at 70. But then again, last week and the first part of this week we've been hammered with rain and it was bad enough to slow down to 15mph at times with the hazards on
