Tires... again - any feedback on Kumho Rear, Kenda Kanine Fronts?

[jma57]

It's time to change the original Kenda tires on my 2017 F3. They only have 8k miles but they are 7 years old and the rear tire is pretty much done: worn in the middle...
I'm going to get the Kuhmo Ecsta KU25 for the rear and Kenda Kanines for the front.
It seems the Kanine for the rear continues to wear out the center too quickly, just like my current one, so no to that.
I expect the front Kanines to wear as well as my current ones and I'm ok with that, since they still look good with even wear. I'm replacing them due to age.
I would like to hear from anyone who may have gone with this setup, chime in please and let know how it worked out, or not.
For the install I'm taking the wheels to a local repair shop, they will do the tire change and balance for a very reasonable sum.
