About the Kenda Vezda UHP AS

UHP Performance, Every Season, Every Mile.

Best forPerformance-oriented drivers of sedans, coupes, and crossovers who need sharp handling and reliable traction in dry, wet, and light winter conditions year-round.

The Kenda Vezda UHP A/S (KR400) is an ultra-high-performance all-season tire built for sedans, coupes, and crossovers. It delivers responsive handling, confident braking, and year-round traction without sacrificing everyday usability. Backed by a 50,000-mile tread life warranty, it targets drivers who want genuine performance capability across all four seasons.

An asymmetrical tread pattern puts a lower void ratio at the shoulder for firm dry-road grip, while a higher void ratio on the inboard side channels water efficiently for wet-weather traction. Four circumferential grooves evacuate water to resist hydroplaning, and a silica-enriched compound improves both wet grip and long-term wear. Three-dimensional sipes add bite in light snow and cold conditions.

Questions about this tire

What does 245/45ZR20 103Y mean?

245 is the tread width in millimeters, 45 means the sidewall is 45% of that width, and R20 is the 20-inch rim it mounts on. 103 is the load index (1,929 lbs per tire), and Y is the speed rating (up to 186 mph).

What kind of warranty does the Vezda UHP A/S KR400 carry?

Kenda backs this tire with a 50,000-mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. That coverage applies at the model level across the available size range, giving buyers meaningful long-term protection.

How does this tire perform in wet conditions?

The KR400 uses four wide circumferential grooves to move water away from the contact patch, reducing hydroplaning risk. The silica-enriched compound and asymmetrical tread design work together to maintain grip on wet pavement.

Is the Vezda UHP A/S suitable for light snow or winter driving?

It handles light snow and cold temperatures reasonably well, thanks to its 3D sipe network and all-season compound. However, it is not Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified, so drivers in regions with heavy snowfall or frequent ice should consider a dedicated winter tire for those conditions.

What vehicles and rim sizes does this tire fit?

The KR400 is designed for passenger vehicles — sedans, coupes, and crossovers — and is available in 45 sizes spanning 16-inch through 20-inch rim diameters. That range covers a broad variety of factory and aftermarket fitments.

Why does the tread pattern look different on the inside versus the outside of the tire?

The Vezda UHP A/S uses an asymmetrical design intentionally: the outboard shoulder has a lower void ratio to maximize the contact patch for dry cornering, while the inboard side features a higher void ratio to move water more aggressively. Each side of the tire is optimized for a different job, so correct mounting direction matters.

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.
