In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Taiwan (
Kenda) against a tyre from a manufacturer from France (
Michelin). Generally,
Michelin winter tyres are slightly better rated (89%) than
Kenda (7%). In this particular case, the Michelin PILOT ALPIN 5 has a better rating of 100% compared to 7% of the Kenda Wintergen 2 KR501. The first tyre test of Kenda Wintergen 2 KR501 was done in 2019, compared to 2020 when was the Michelin PILOT ALPIN 5 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Autobild 2025 225/40 R18 test, where both the
Wintergen 2 KR501 and the
PILOT ALPIN 5 were tested. See more mutual tests below.
