OVERVIEW

The Kenda Kenetica KR17 is a touring all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Kenda offers a 50,000 mile warranty with this model.

The tire provides superb all weather traction. The all season tire compound and the special tread design work together to improve the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tire's tread design features wide circumferential grooves that effectively disperse water from below the tire's footprint. This prevents hydroplaning and guarantees a safer year round driving experience.

The tread's semi-solid center rib maintains its road contact at all times. The enhanced road contact improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The tire is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it, while the steering becomes quick and precise in its response to the driver's commands. The tread design's shoulder tread blocks upgrade the cornering and maneuvering ability and power. The tread blocks increase the number of biting edges that grip the road surface, which ensures safer maneuvering in all conditions.

The special symmetric five-rib tread design features a variable pitch sequence. This manages to negate the road noise heard in the vehicle's cabin while the tires are in motion. The variable pitch generates a sound frequency that cancels the road and pattern noise out during the drive the moment they are created. The result is a quiet and comfortable driving experience.

The Kenetica KR17 guarantees an extended tread life and usability. The symmetric tread design equally distributes the driving pressure across the tread area. This prevents irregular tread wear from forming across the tread area. The increased tread life makes the tire more cost efficient as it is usable for an extended period of time.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
