Does anybody have anything to say about Kenda tires? I know nothing of them except I found they they are now making a 35x10.5 r16. It called the Klever R/T and looks like hybrid type all terrain. Good looking sidewalls too.
I'm really thinking about selling my TRD Baja wheels and 255 ST Maxx and going this direction.

A little update. After reading a couple reviews I went ahead and ordered a set in 35/10.5r17. I found them online for $188 per tire with free local pickup which is super cheap for 35s.

Now I just need to figure out what wheel offset, width, ect will work best with my 3" lift. Function wise I'm actually thinking the 4runner TRD wheels may work best. 17x7, +4 offset 4.1 BS. Theres some other options I like better but will probably need to cut deeper when I do my CMC. First world problems...
 
I run them in 35 10.50 17

love the tires so far. Snow, mud, rocks and pavement they have been great. Can’t hear them on the road either.

I have ran Kendas in the past and these r/ts are far better than the m/ts

I really wanted a 35x10.5 when I got my 315/75s but no one had them. I've never heard of this brand either, but it's cool that they are making this size. Would you say they are a true 35 or a bit smaller? I know a lot of brands end up with different measurements than what their advertised size is.

They measure at 34 7/8 So I’d say that is pretty close to a true 35.

I’ve ran Kendas on Jeep for 40-50k miles and they did just fine. Kenda makes motorcycle tires and are pretty big competitor.
 
I've run Kenda's on my motorcycle as well, and have never had a complaint.

I believe they make a 33"x10.5"x17" that I'm currently interested in. My primary concern is wet pavement performance (family safety) then off road ability.

Thank you for the feedback.... Anyone else?


Cheers

They are pretty good on wet pavement. If you keep your foot out of it. But if you drive like a normal person in the rain/ slick conditions they do just fine.
