Kenda Klever R/T KR601 35x10.50R17

I got my tires in on Friday, ordered from Walmart to get the rollback price. I went ahead and scheduled the mounting for the following Monday at Walmart. Once I got there they refused to mount the tires because they were “more than a couple sizes bigger than the original tires”. Not that I actually care, I’ll gladly give my money to a local tire shop to mount them, but I just wanted to pass along my experience so others might save some time and effort if they’re hoping to have Walmart do the installation.

I was told mine were too large for their machine. I don't trust them anyway and already planned on having them mounted at a real tire shop.

I had them mount mine, didn't have any issues. Probably just varies by location.

Walmart screwed up my Kenda balancing so bad I drove from there straight to Jeep for a rebalance.

Firestone service center told me they will no longer mount any tires on non oem wheels or non oem sizes. Too bad too as they were one of the few places around me that had the Hunter road force machine.

Didn’t give one just said it was their new corporate policy.

Discount tire didn't bat an eye when I rolled in with them. Did them for 30 bucks a piece and broke down my old tires to remove the tpms. They have the best service.

As did I. I bought one on sale just after i mounted STT pros for around $130 to replace my stock spare so that I had a 35 to match size, plus I want these tires when my current ones wear out “not sure if that will ever happen, these coops wear like iron so far”.

the local Walmart mounted it without word.

I like the low weight, the tucking under the fenders and the potential steering’s benefits, but I’m still just not yet sold on how skinny they might look. I’d prefer they came in a 11.5” width. Any one regret their purchase?

Not at all. They look nice on the truck.

I wheeled mine this weekend on medium and challenging trails and they did great. Never had an issue with loss of traction or grip.

Perfect size. Not too skinny at all.

When did they start that? I literally just got 35s put on at a Firestone last week.

Not sure, that is what they told me when I called them to make an appointment about 5 weeks ago. It was the service center in North Reading MA

No regrets on the purchase, they look skinnier in pictures than in person. For my use there is no need or advantage to a wider tire
