I was given the opportunity to get the first set in AUS from Kenda Australia to test, I'm about 50 hrs in and have just rotated the tyre to give it a sharp edge.
I didn't have high expectations of this tyre due to its price point BUT im extremely impressed with these tyres. The only downside is they do have a softer sidewall than the other 2 major brands. To combat this i would run them 1 PSI higher than usual.
Performance is top notch! it grips just as well as a Michelin has good response and feedback. We tried a set of TL01 dunlops and found they where absolute rubbish. miles apart from the D803GP!!
The only down fall is the front tyre does get a bit of understeer. Nothing a bit of body positioning can't fix.
Would i use them again??? 110% YES!! the price these days for Michelins are going up and the Kenda fills the gap perfect for 99% of riders.
