About the Kenda Kenetica Touring A/S

Quiet miles, confident grip, every season.

Best forEveryday drivers of sedans, coupes, minivans, and crossovers who need dependable all-season performance and a comfortable, low-noise ride.

The Kenda Kenetica Touring A/S is an all-season passenger tire built for drivers of sedans, coupes, minivans, and crossovers who want dependable year-round performance without sacrificing everyday comfort. It balances confident wet and light-snow traction with a quiet, composed ride, making it a practical choice for commuters and families seeking reliable mileage from a single set of tires.

A symmetrical tread pattern anchors the Kenetica Touring A/S, featuring wide circumferential grooves to channel water away and an extensive sipe network for grip on wet pavement and light snow. Tie bars connect adjacent tread blocks to sharpen handling stability on dry roads, while a computer-optimized, randomized pitch sequence breaks up sound frequencies that cause road noise. Kenda backs the tire with a 60,000-mile limited tread life warranty.

Questions about this tire

What does 245/60R18 105H mean?

245 is the tread width in millimeters, 60 means the sidewall is 60% of that width, and R18 is the 18-inch rim it mounts on. 105 is the load index (2,039 lbs per tire), and H is the speed rating (up to 130 mph).

Can the Kenetica Touring A/S handle year-round driving conditions?

Yes. The all-season tread design, with its circumferential grooves and extensive siping, is built to manage rain, light snow, and dry pavement throughout the year. That said, if you regularly face heavy snowfall or severe ice, a dedicated winter tire will provide a higher level of grip in those extreme conditions.

How does this tire perform on wet roads?

The wide circumferential grooves work alongside the angled sipe pattern to channel water away from the contact patch and maintain grip on wet surfaces. Together they help reduce the risk of hydroplaning during rain and standing-water situations.

Is the Kenetica Touring A/S a quiet tire for highway driving?

Kenda uses a computer-optimized, randomized tread pitch sequence specifically to interrupt the sound frequencies and harmonics that generate road noise. The result is a notably quieter and more comfortable cabin experience compared to tires without this type of noise-canceling tread design.

How does the tire handle on dry roads?

Tie bars positioned between adjacent tread blocks stiffen the tread structure, which translates to more precise steering response and better cornering stability on dry pavement. This feature helps the tire feel composed and predictable during everyday driving.

What warranty does the Kenetica Touring A/S carry?

Kenda provides a 60,000-mile limited tread life warranty on this model, which reflects the brand's confidence in the tire's long-term durability. Be sure to review the full warranty terms for any conditions or requirements, such as regular rotation intervals.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
