Kenda Klever R/T KR601 35x10.50R17

Giga Tire looks like they have them in stock.

Ive ordered from here and can vouch for them being a very legit company. I actually ordered a set of kendas and sent them back. The kenta AT tread blocks look tight on the pictures, but are dang near MT in real life. Not what I was after.

The RT is for rugged terrain, which are between at and mt as you saw.

Those are for 33 though, not 35 unfortunately.

They were more of an example, I didnt really search for 35s. If you give their site a look maybe they have them, though the prices are pretty inflated at the moment.

Update, went from Toyo AT IIIs 285/75/17 to the Kenda 35x10.5x17. A little over 5K miles, just rotated they show almost no wear, in the snow they are fantastic, they seem to grip better than the Toyos, only downside so far is slightly harsher ride especially when over 35psi, I usually run around 34psi but when it is in the single digits the drop below 30psi and trigger the tpms alert, then we have an occasional 50 degree day and they go up to 37-38psi.

Ok, ended up with 17x8.5 0mm offset Method 703 instead of the originally planned +25mm. The shop I used made a decision in talks with Method and I think they saved my ass. I want to go Clayton 2.5" and Clayton says no more than 4.75" backspacing for their kit. The +25mm would've put me around 5.7" backpacking while 0mm offset puts me at 4.75" backspacing. I wanted zero poke but as soon as I saw my setup, I was sold. I thought these 35x10.5 were going to look small and out of place based on some photos I've seen here but DAMN do they look good in person.

Looks great! I agree, these can look kinda small on stock rims with no poke.

For those with a Tazer, what tire size setting are you using? My tires measured out to 33 13/16” but the speedometer was off GPS by nearly 2 MPH with the closest setting and shifting still felt a bit off. I bumped up to something like 34.2 and speedometer better matched GPS and shifting feels a lot better. No issues getting into 8th (4.10s)

Both my JT and JL with different tire sizes and both with taxers are off 2 MPH. Nothing seems to correct it.

Not using a Tazer but I set my tire size to 34” and it seems very close to my phone gps.

Something I noticed with my MJ, XJ and LJ was the speedometer was reading slightly over actual speed until I changed tires to larger tire (OEM seem to be undersized tires) putting 31s on LJ put speedometer on. I noticed the same with my JT (Max-Tow) but loss of MPG's heavy and bigger tires.

Any long term reviews on the tire?

Prices are up.

I’ve got around 15k miles on my set, and they still look like new. I still wouldn’t put any other tires on mine.

Same mileage, same experience! If the price come back down, I’m pulling the trigger on another set, but I’ve got plenty of time and miles left in these tires!

I have around 10k on mine, still look new, no issues, just as good as the Toyo AT IIIs I had on before the Kendas. They were great in the snow and still really good in the rain and wet.

If i had not found 5 Maxiss At 37s for 1200 I would be back on these. They were awesome.

2500 on mine and I love them. Road noise minimal, sexy as hell, comfortable ride, and good grip in rain so far.
