The Kinforest KF550 in 295/30 R23 is a solid street tyre built for those running wide, low-profile fitments on performance cars or custom builds. With a 104Y speed rating, it's well-suited to serious road use without the premium price tag of the European brands.
Wet weather grip is respectable for a tyre in this class — the tread pattern channels water away efficiently, which matters on New Zealand roads where the weather can turn without much warning. On dry tarmac it feels planted and responsive, and road noise is kept to a reasonable level for a tyre this wide and low-profile.
- Size: 295/30 R23
- Speed Rating: 104Y
