Hey Blake,

The only difference between the Kenda tires # KE68KV and # AM10208 is the tread quality. The # AM10208 is their premium tire with a smart tread design with enhanced performance overall. While the # KE68KV is their mid-grade thread option. Both are solid tires and I have not seen any issues with either one. If you are wanting something with better handling and something longer lasting I recommend the # AM10208 premium thread, but it is ultimately up to you which you prefer for your setup.

If you have any more in depth questions about these 2 let me know and we can dig into it more. What kind of camper are you putting these on?

@Blake Solid rig right there. It really is up to preference on those tires. Like I said I have had great things said about both. Between the 2 the more premium tire # AM10208 is going to last longer and not show normal ware and tear as easily.

@NickS I always thought a good rule of thumb is to change tires every 5 years. As I recently learned the hard way the spare as well.Im leaning more towards the premium but price point for 5 if they are being replaced in 5 will the be worth it. Also how do I tell if I went with the premium 4 years ago and last trip lost 1 on the way up to a 5 hour away camp and 1 on the way home.litterly split on the bottom of the tred would attach a pic but not seeing a way to.

I would also recommend a TPMS for anyone towing a trailer as if not for the TPMS I added this spring I do not think I would have known the tire's were loosing pressure. And would not of had the time to take care of them off the freeway.lost tire than lost spare on the way to replace tire. Got a new spare drove up to camp replaced tire than lost another tire on the way home. We were all safe so all good just lessons learned. I'm looking for a new rim also a 7 spoke aluminum for a 185/80R 13 if you know where I can find one as next long trip I will be carrying 2 spares.
