It's likely the higher pressure load rating accounting for the difference on the Kenda.
I wouldn't overanalyze it. And I wouldn't discount the Kenda tires as good tires. In my small sample size, I've had 2 sets of the same size Kenda Karrier tires, 1 set of C load and the other D load. Both have had no issues and are about 3 and 6 years old respectively. Both sit all year basically save for a handful of days use on each in opposite seasons.
You can't really go wrong with either option IMO
I had Kenda's on motorcycles for decades. Never an issue. They are part of the Cooper brand. Goodyear is purchasing Cooper as we converse.
