  • The Kenda Wintergen 2 KR501 receives a satisfactory rating for driving safety, but with weaknesses on dry roads impacting its overall score. It offers barely adequate feedback and precision on dry surfaces, requiring frequent steering corrections and exhibiting a tendency to oversteer. While it performs satisfactorily on wet roads, its handling is less precise with a low grip level. However, it excels on snow with good braking and traction, and very good handling. Its environmental performance is poor due to its high weight, despite a long lifespan and low abrasion. Concerns about sustainability due to its production in China and manufacturing residues on new tires further detract from its environmental rating.
