Kenda is a tire brand under Kenda Rubber Industrial Co., Ltd., founded in 1962. It is one of Taiwan's early reflective tire manufacturers. In addition to establishing factories and subsidiaries in Asia, North America, and Europe, Kenda Tires have been sold in many countries, making it a large multinational corporation. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery, usually mounted on metal rims. They support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, ensure contact with the road surface, and guarantee the vehicle's driving performance. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning properties.

I've driven quite a few cars and used Kenda tires, which feel like a reliable Taiwanese brand established in the 1960s, focusing on cost-effectiveness. I've tried their passenger car tires during daily commutes, such as driving on city roads, where the grip is quite stable, performing well in dry conditions. The price is much cheaper than Michelin or Goodyear, saving a lot of money for a full set, but the lifespan isn't bad, generally capable of running 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers without issues. Performance might be slightly weaker in rainy conditions, so it's recommended to use them with an ABS system. Overall, they're suitable for practical drivers like me, not pursuing high-end but seeking reliability and durability. With regular maintenance, the performance is even better.

As a seasoned driver, I often recommend Kenda to friends on a budget. These tires are affordable and perform well on both highways and regular roads. I've had a set on my own car for over two years without any issues. The grip is solid in dry conditions for good control, and they're fuel-efficient too. While they may not be as safe as premium brands on wet surfaces, driving cautiously can compensate. Regular tire rotation helps extend their lifespan. Ideal for city commuters, they offer great value for money and are worth trying out.

Kenda tires are a money-saving gem in my eyes. After purchasing them for my family car, I found the grip to be quite good in normal weather, and they are highly wear-resistant—still holding up well after over 10,000 kilometers. The price is budget-friendly, costing half as much as big brands, yet the quality doesn't disappoint. Just be cautious when driving in rainy weather to avoid slipping. Regularly check the tire pressure to ensure safety. They're perfect for frugal folks like me.
