Kenda Kenetica Touring A/S

OVERVIEW

The Kenda Kenetica Touring A/S is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Kenda offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.

The tire offers excellent all weather traction. It combines the all season compound with the symmetric tread pattern to enhance the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The compound keeps the rubber flexibility in various conditions, while the tread elements boost the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. The tread's groove placement avoids hydroplaning as it disperses water and slush from below the footprint. As a result, the tire ensures a safer wet and winter weather performing capability.

The tread design's close and maintained road contact upgrades its controllability. The symmetric tread design upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability throughout the model's performance. The better surface contact improves the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The shoulder tread block placement enhances the cornering ability and power. The shoulder blocks boost the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during maneuvering, which ensures the driver's secure control over the vehicle.

The tread design works together with the durable compound to increase the length of the tread life. The stronger compound is wear-resistant thanks to the durable rubber materials used during the tire's manufacture, which slows the tread wear rate down. The tread pattern's even pressure distribution lengthens the tread life and usability by avoiding irregular wear formations. The symmetric tread ensures even pressure distribution along the tread area, avoiding uneven wear across the tread. This combination significantly extends the usability and tread life.

The Kenetica Touring A/S promotes an enjoyable drive. The tread design's pitch sequence manages to minimize the road and tread pattern noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. This pitch negates the soundwaves at the moment they are generated with the special sound-cancelling frequency created during the drive. The symmetric tread's close road contact allows the tire to absorb the shock of driving while the tires are in motion. In this manner, the road vibrations are not felt by the passengers during the tire's performance. As a result, the tire promotes a comfortable and quiet driving experience.

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.
