The worst tyre I’ve ever owned. Took them to four different tyre shops to get them balanced. Still wobble and vibrate. Terrible tyre to try and balance.

72,000km travelled over 3.5 years. This was my first modification when I bought my Jimny. I have been very happy with these tyres. No punctures, no uneven wear. Good on road, awesome off road. Naturally the Jimny is a noisy car to drive, so I can't tell you what the road noise is like. As you can see in the photos, there is a fair bit of tread left on the tyres. I'm about to replace my Kenda Klever R/T tyres with a new set of exactly the same tyres. The only reason that I'm replacing these tyres now @ 72,000km is that they can get quite slippery in wet conditions- that's not a tyre issue, that's an age issue in my opinion. Awesome tyres. Hopefully I can do some more hard wheeling on my second set than I did on my first.

Thought I would take a punt on these cheap tyres.  They have been fantastic!  Great on road and amazing off road.  Super tough looking as well.  Have already recommend them to many members of my 4x4 club.

Had them on for 30 000km. I’ve been hard on them and put them thru some bad puncture terrain out western NSW, completely off road. Thick hop bush, blue bush, lignum stumps and fallen pine to name a few. I have had 1 side wall tear but I believe no tyre would have survived this as it was a hard and sharp tree stump hidden in grass.Off-road traction is very good in soft sand and gravel roads and good in mudThe tyres have 5-8000km left on them but I only rotated the tyres once and only the 1 wheel alignment. Also I had toe and camber mechanical issues which has not helped tread life.Safe to say you would get 50 000km if looked after properly.Would buy again

We researched the kenda tyre along with many others, they are receiving great motorsport reviews so giving them a crack, we will be very soon travelling Australia towing a caravan and in the short time we have had them they have been brilliant. My wife hates road noise, I've had no complaints. Please can I say thank you Highway Tyres Doveton and Moorabbin.

After owning a set of big name hybrid tyres and moving to the kenda R/T I could not be happier. They tick all the boxes and perform in all conditions that I need them to. I will be purchasing these in the future that's for sure
