Kenda Klever R/T KR601 35x10.50R17

[FREEZE451]

Well, these tires are awesome in the snow, deep and compacted.

I have 5,000 miles on my new Gladiator and they are super nice. Kind of glad I didn't go with Grapplers.

That's good to know. I'm currently torn between the Klevers and the 255/85 Baja Boss. I like the tread and price a bit better on the Klevers, but the warranty and size better on the Baja boss.

Fair enough!

I was a little skeptical at first, but being able to drive in 2hi is not normal for me having had the grapplers on my last Jeep.

It was always 4hi with those grapplers, and even then, I felt like I didn't have the control I wanted.

Now I am comfortable driving in 2hi and not spinning for what seemed an eternity..

I did sacrifice some of the look not going with a big meaty tire, but I'm super happy with their winter performance.

When I say deep snow - like 6 inches (all the sky has given us) but compacted snow even it handles well.

I’ve taken mine on snowy (5-6”) trails through the mountains and these tires did very well. I wish they made a skinny 37” as well!

Hate to keep bringing this thread up but here are some impressions in the last few days:

1. Running PSI hot around 32-34 in the snow (.5"-2") 2H works most of the time. Occasionally putting it into 4Auto. Cold they sat around 29-31 PSI.

2. Running PSI hot around 38-40 in the snow (.5"-2") 2H works very well. Put it into 4Auto and it goes like a champ. Cold they sat around 34-35 PSI.

3. Put it into 4H and offroad mode and you might as well put racing seats in because it hauls ass(for a Jeep Gladiator that is). Drifting corners and pulling straight again like a summer car.

4. About to get 6" of snow, can't wait for this storm to be done.

Current temperature outside during this it was between 15 degrees and 30 with flurries.

Merry Christmas you Jeep animals.

Any Mojaves, Rubicons, or Max Tows running the 35x10.5x17 on 5.75" backspaced rims? Looking at the 17x8.5 +25mm Method 703s. Wondering if this combination sits under the fender or outside the fender. I imagine it's super close with the Klever 10.5s

Max tow with AEV Savegre II rims and Kenda 35x10.5x17, the AEV rims are +25 and 8.5” wide.

WOO WOO! Thank you! Looks like tiny poke if not flush, would you agree? Any rubbing issues or anything?

Maybe a tiny bit of poke on the front, I have 340 and 343 front springs and a Daystar 1.5” spacer in the front and .75” rear spacer, they do not rub anywhere with my setup.

Great news. I'm looking to do similar with the 1.5" front and 0.75" rear but no change to shocks+springs until I figure out Mopar 2" or another kit.

That looks great!

Those are exactly the wheels and tires I am planning on running.

Do you know how the weight compares to the stock Mojave wheels and Falken A/T? All I can seem to find are shipping weights which I don't think are what the parts actually weigh.

Sorry, I just realized you have a max tow lol, I was not paying attention..

You guys are a bunch of enablers, lol. I took off a set of perfectly good 33” Falken MT’s for these…
