I'm going a different route on my next set of front tires - trying these IOTA EVT (Standard's) instead!

@troop - just to be sure I understand all that you have said, the Accelera 165/55R15 fit the PPA rims without modifying the mounting of the wheels with spacers or relocating the fenders. Is that correct? If so, I'll order a pair - both Amazon and Tiremart say they have them available.

I'm planning on replacing the tires on my 2024 RT Limited (and the rims as well) before heading out this summer to do around 8,000 miles. I doubt the OEM tires will make it that long.

Thanks,

I just bought a 26 S2S and it came with the newly branded XPS branded Kenda tires.

As I put miles on them, they are definitely an improvement over the previous Kendas in terms of feel, sidewall stiffness and wet weather performance.

BRP say they are much improved lifespan too. Looking at the tread construction and tread depth this might indeed be true.

Admittedly I wasn’t a hater on the original Kendas, I liked them for their controlled breakaway and reasonable performance. What I didn’t like was their wet weather performance and their wear rate.

So everything seems an improvement, I will just have to see how well they last over time and miles. I suspect from the other BRP stated improvements being true, I would tend to give BRP the benefit of the doubt for now when they say they have an improved mileage duration. The issue is likely to be by how much.
