Alex's take: he has been using the Kenda KR20A for a couple of years and says it has been very consistent and dependable. It does not make the most smoke compared with some other brands, but it has a good bit of grip until it gets overheated. His main issue is that when the tire gets hot it starts to get slippery, and if it gets really hot it can bubble up and create holes in the tread. Overall, he says it is a great bang-for-buck drift tire and he will continue ordering them.

Nathan's take: the Kenda Vezda UHP felt pretty decent throughout the day. Grip levels stayed the same and tire pressures remained stable. He put on a fresh set right before Top 32 and used the same pair through his final battle in the Final 4. Side bite and forward bite felt linear, so the car was predictable, but he still felt the car could have used more grip during chase runs. For party use, this is a solid choice. It can work for competition, but it may not provide enough grip to be competitive in every matchup.

Anthony's take: on the G35 sedan, the Kenda Vezda KR20A is perfect for tire life and grip. He gets plenty of side bite and forward bite with the rear alignment zeroed out, and the tires stay consistent from brand new to hardly any tread. Long story short, price per lap and consistency make these a good choice when you can drive all weekend off one pair.
