Kenda tyres?
Been offered a nearly new set of Kenda tyres for my Scoob. Are these any good at all?, a friend of mine has changed his wheels and no longer needs the tyres. They have covered no more than 200 miles, and they are free
I don't want to put them on if they are useless. I'm not planning on taking it on track and I never go out in the car in the wet
Thanks for any feedback

Dont do it!
Here is a review:
A good cheap tyre is the Kumho KU31!
Here is a review:
Kaiser 225/40/18 Vauxhall Signum 2.8T - The nastiest tyres I have ever had the misfortune of driving on. With a directional tread, and acceptable dry grip, they lure you into a false sense of security. However, at the first glimpse of damp, they lose the little traction they had and you may as well be driving on bald tyres. Uncomfortable, noisy, no feedback, and annoyingly hardwearing. A budget tyre to avoid at all costs.

I agree with Mr. WRX for the most part 
I've got Kenda Kaiser tyres on my car now as they came with my alloy wheels package. At first the grip level in the dry was great & TBH they weren't too bad in the wet either but as they have worn the levels of grip have really gotten terrible (worse than other budget tyres I have used in the past).
If they are free I'd say why not try them for a while & buy some better rubber once the others are part worn but its up to you. Goodluck

Thanks guys, have given these a wide birth now. Has got me interested in some new tyres now though.
How good are the MAXXIS M444GY?, I can get a set delivered for £211 and I have access to a tyre machine and balancer so can fit these without worrying about them getting damaged
