Kenda Klever R/T KR601 35x10.50R17

[Bunchahoopla]

Inspired by your build, bought the same tire and wheel setup and scored some cheap rubi shocks and springs. Installed the shocks and springs only so far and then the wheels. Rides really nice so far but have something in the drivetrain rattles over bumps. I didnt use a torque wrench on anything but may need to go over it. MPG went from 19 city to 17.5 with jscan corrected tire size.

I love the stock wheel offset with the tall skinny tire. Pictures dont do it justice.

Looks amazing! Glad I can be a little inspiration! I love the setup! The ride is really good! I don’t have any rattles or anything but I did torque everything to specs. I plan to go over everything again around 500 miles. I did finally put on my Teraflex 1.5 spacer and Daystar.75 rear. It looks really nice with this set up and an easy way to get a little more lift with the factory suspension. You are correct, this offset with the tall skinnys looks good but even better in person.

Looks great man! Not sure I'll add spacers in the future but I havnt heard any rubbing under normal driving. Did you get an alignment after your mods?

Yeah I never had any rubbing under normal driving conditions. I do light wheeling in the weekends so the extra lift was nice. Haven’t had an alignment since I did the spacers but I am due for the first oil change and will knock it out there.

Curious if anyone has extended usage for these in the snow? We live in the frozen North (MN) and need tires that perform well in the winter. The stock Falken AT3 on our Rubi did well this past winter and I've ran KO2's on our JK for years. I know they have some siping, but don't have the 3 peak rating.

I am not really a fan of wide tires and am wanting to avoid having to run a 315/70r17 Ko2s, but need some larger tires. (Our JK runs 285/75r17, which have been great offroad/on and in the snow... but I'd like to go a bit taller than those for the JT).

Walmart lowered the price from 201 down to 175.81. Don't waste the opportunity to get these awesome tires.

How are these tires holding up to mileage and wear? Any cupping issues? Are they good in the rain? Has anyone towed with them?

Bumping this hoping to get some more pics hopefully of these on a max tow without a lift.

I have a Max Tow and have a set going on Tuesday with some RockTrix RT111 wheels. Going to be doing a 1.5 front and .75 rear lift, but I'll take some stock shots.

Picked up the mounted tires and wheels on my lunch break today, will be putting them on later. I did a quick off the jeep measurement. On 9" wide wheels the Kenda Klever 35x10.5 measure 34.5"

They measure pretty much dead on 34” at 36 psi on the Jeep. Here are some photos.
