Better than expected
One autocross and two track days later definitely not mad at the Kenda UHP.
Traction is instant, which makes it great for autocross.
With track day 20 minute sessions I find tires needed to cool down after 12-15 minutes. (Advanced solo driver) Tires get a little greasy when pushed hard and hot.
Pressures rise quicker than the NT05s I was using prior.
Treadwear is on par with 200 dot tires.
I would say great purchase for auto crossers and good purchase for HPDE events.
Definitely would choose something else for Time trials or Racing ventures But for a streetcar driving to the track, participating in the event, and driving home, these are fantastic.

Great deal!
I got these in 31530R19 for my BOSS 302 on the rear on 11 inch rims. They hook much better than the NT555G2 and they are cheaper & look great!

Awesome tire Awesome price
I was not expecting the tires to be a good as they are. Cobalt ss big turbo with a hot tune and they work pretty well. Handle good and are smooth up to the rev limiter in 5th.

Very good grip
I purchased these for my Challenger ScatPack. The car will launch now without spinning the rear tires. Good gripping tire on dry surface. I haven't tried in the rain because I don't drive my car in the rain.
