@Inukshuk I hate to be a whiner, but those Big O ATs should be taken off the market. They are terrifying in the rain and snow, dangerous even.

I do have a couple questions. I’m not too knowledgeable about the auto tire industry but does Kenda source tires from another manufacturer and put their label on them? I know there’s some of that out there. What kind of longevity are you seeing?

Kenda has several factories: https://www.kendatire.com/en-us/locations/

At one time Cooper and Kenda had a joint factory and distribution deal. There may have been some models rebadged, but I thought it was Cooper who was putting their name on Kenda tires.

Kenda is the manufacturer. These are made at their new plant in Vietnam. They have a US R&D facility

Kenda is well known for excellent MTB and motorcycle tires.

With on-site test track, American Technology Center is upping Kenda's tire game

It’s somewhat hard to believe that in all of their years of making bicycle tires, this was the first time Kenda has held a press…

I’ve run their bicycle tires in the past and liked them.

Thanks for the heads up on these tires, my sister just put a set of the 33”x9.5” on her 4Runner. They look awesome.
