I had a Cheng Shin tire that wouldn't seat right and gave me a thumping flat spot. I know my sample size is low, but I prefer to buy from the other big tire companies. I know Kenda has a high defect rate as well, but so far, so good for me. I made an exception: I put Kenda tires on my English 3-speed, and I like how they feel better than the expensive Schwalbe tires.
