Customer Rich C.’s Coupe R at Summit Racing

Customer Rich C.’s gorgeous Factory Five Type 65 Coupe R is on display at Summit Racing! Rich says, “Friday night my wife, Kristen, and I loaded the #kendacoupe on the @summitracing display table in Tallmadge, Ohio. It will be on display for the month of January. If you’re in the area, stop by and check it out in person.

A big thanks to Summit Racing for displaying our car. Having a car displayed in their store is an honor. We are local to this store, which happens to be the headquarters and original store. Not only is Summit our go-to for just about every car project, but they also support and sponsor every racing event we run, including our local autocross group, Akron Sports Car Club.

Summit now carries the entire line of Kenda tires, so this was a great opportunity. In addition to the Kenda Vezda UHP MAX tires that are on the #kendacoupe, we also brought along Kenda Klever RT and MT light truck tires to display. The entire Kenda light truck tire line (AT, RT, and MT) are awesome tires at an incredible value. I hope to start seeing these on some of the FFR XTF Pre-Runner trucks as folks start completing their truck builds. Check out the Kenda “Light Truck Boot Camp” to see just how well they perform.”
