Kenda KAISER KR20 Reviews

Given 81% (breakdown) while driving a Audi A3 Sport (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3,006 average miles
I have these on my a3. Running over 200bhp these tyres always perform well, even in the winter.

Given 27% (breakdown) while driving a Holden Ute SS (235-45-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 4 spirited miles
These replaced Hankooks which had good and pregressive wet grip and were put on by the garage as an "equal." They are not. In the dry, they are not too bad but it is too easy move the back end (without trying.) I have been avoiding using the car in the wet (prefering to drive a Fiat Doblo diesel which says it all,) as grip is so-so in a straight line and lateral grip is non-existant. The back steps out no matter how careful you are and, if the back goes too fast, the front will break too - which just never happens on this car. Only 4,000 miles but they will be dumped. Dangerous rubbish.

Given 60% (breakdown) while driving a Volvo s60 D5 (163) (225-45-16-V)
Driving on mostly country roads for 3,000 easy going miles
CRAP, CRAP Rubbish tyres, only done a few thousand in my volvo s60 D5. Sounds like all the wheel bearings are knackered. What waste of money. I suggest stay clear of any tyres with directional tread.

I bought my Rs225 with shot tyres.got Kendra on price. $100 a corner.
In wet weather my car becomes a drift car. Dry not bad....they take a while to warm up. Not a tyre for perfomance car !

Given 40% (breakdown) while driving a Honda Accord (215-45-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 6,000 average miles
These were fitted to my car when i bought it, they were brand new at th time and so i decided i would get some use out of them before changing them. I bought the car last october and so the first few months usage was in cold, wet and icy conditions and to be honest they performed well in those conditions. We had 12inches of snow and maybe its the hard compound but i was suprised at the grip in compacted snow.

I've covered nearly 7k miles with them now and they'll be coming off the car soon. They are very noisey, it sounds like i have worn bearings such is the noise. Wet grip is poor, push them at all and they squirm and slide on the road. I can spin the wheels in 3rd gear in the wet with them.

Dry grip can only be described as adequate but push them and the car seems to wander slightly on the road. Comfort is pretty good but overall theyre a poor tyre and the only reason i can see for buying a set again is price. I however will never buy a set of them.

these tyres came on my evo 5.... i will never have them again. they are dodgy in the dry and the worst tyre in the wet. its like having a rwd!! the only positive for them is they last for ages and are pretty good in the snow

Driving on a combination of roads for 2,000 easy going miles
Got them with car. Will change as soon as possible. Do not want to wait warmer weather. But must give some honesty it was cold in last couple months 2-8 Celsius. So may be stiff just because weather. Safety however does not have price tag!

Given 60% (breakdown) while driving a SEAT Leon Cupra (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
Poor wet grip and very poor wet traction even in 3rd gear. They weren't quite as bad when they had more rubber on. Not bad dry grip though for the money. They've lasted 20k which is the same as the Bridgestones, Pirellis, Federals I've had on the same car.
