About Kenda Tires
Kenda Rubber Industrial Company has been crafting pneumatic tires since 1962, when it was founded in Yuanlin, Taiwan with a singular focus on bicycle tires. Over the decades, the company grew far beyond its roots — expanding into motorcycle and scooter tires, then into trailer, lawn and garden, and passenger car lines — all while maintaining its own manufacturing facilities across Taiwan, mainland China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Today, Kenda is recognized worldwide as a vertically integrated tire manufacturer that controls a significant share of its own production, lending the brand far more substance than a typical budget label.
What sets Kenda apart is the remarkable breadth of its lineup. Whether you're fitting out a passenger sedan, a light truck, an ATV, a bicycle, or a specialty application like a wheelchair or golf cart, Kenda has engineered a tire for the job. The brand's engineers balance real-world performance with accessible value — making Kenda a go-to choice for riders and drivers who want dependable traction, solid durability, and a practical price point. On the road, on the trail, or on the racetrack, the Kenda philosophy centers on delivering tires that perform where it counts.
In the passenger and light truck segment, Kenda offers a wide range of tires covering all-season touring, ultra-high-performance, highway, all-terrain, and mud-terrain applications. Models like the Klever and Vezda series address everything from daily commuting to weekend off-road adventures. For specialty and powersports vehicles, Kenda's dedicated tire lineup covers the unique demands of ATVs, trailers, and other non-standard applications.
Beyond the tire itself, Kenda is equally well-regarded for its tire inner tubes, which are available for bicycles, motorcycles, and powersports machines in a wide variety of sizes and valve configurations. From lightweight performance tubes for road and gravel cycling to heavy-duty options built to withstand rugged off-road terrain, Kenda's tube lineup reflects the same commitment to quality and breadth that defines the brand as a whole.
