Kenda Klever R/T KR601 35x10.50R17

[FitfulGoat]

Any long term reviews on the tire?

Prices are up.

Same boat as the others. I am already planning to bump up to the 37x12.5x17 Kenda Klever RT as these have been stellar tires for the last ~13k miles. I wish they had a skinnier option in 37” is my only gripe. I love the look of the 35x10.5 on my Jeep.

How has everyone set their Tazer? I'm using 34.90. It's incredibly smooth with shifting and cluster MPG is spot on my MPG recorder. Fluctuation in temps has had my PSI anywhere from 34-36 cold.

For the 35x10.5x17 I set the tire size to 34”. Not with a Tazer with a AEV snap.

mine measure out to 33.75” or so from ground up. I tried as close to that as possible initially but it didn’t feel right. A lot of downshifting to 7th and high rpm hangouts.

Ok guys, I’m a bit behind and hating myself. Been running my Kendas at 36 psi for 2k miles. Will chalk test still work or has 2k miles shaped them for 36 psi?

That is the pressure I run, has worked out good so far, they go up 4-5 psi on a hot day on the highway

Man, I love these tires! Merely a few hundred plus miles on mine and could not be happier. Installed a Tazer Lite yesterday and set it to 34.77 (Kenda website says 34.76). It seems to match a “Speed Box” app on my phone quite well. Surprisingly well, actually. Currently stuck on running 37 front and 35 rear p.s.i.

It is funny how many people have asked me “Why so narrow?” Hah!

Anyhow… I made the right choice for me, even though I was dead set on Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT 255/85R17, but was impatient and not OVERLY OK with mounting them on 8.5” wide wheels (recommend max width 8.0”), even though I was told “We’ll mount those all day long,” by Belle Tire (2) and a chosen 4x4/Jeep specialty shop.

Does anyone know where to get these tires from for a reasonable price? It appears the word is out about these tires, as everyone is price gauging them at 300$ a tire or are false advertising them as an 8-ply tire.

Not exactly the same but a little while ago Walmart had the 315, 17s on sale for around $90 a piece. I'd periodically check their website for both.

Is anyone on here running 35/10.5/17's on factory sport s max tow wheels? Just curious what they look like stock or with a 1.5" level.

Need to wait for the periodic sales that Walmart and other online retailers run. I got mine around Thanksgiving of last year. As other posters mentioned the 315/17 variant was on sale the other week for $90ish per tire but sold out within a day. You need to be very quick now.

Here you go. Mine isn't a max tow but it's a base Sport with the steel wheels which are similiar in appearance to the aluminum ones found on the Sport S. In this photo it has the Terraflex 1.5 inch leveling kit in the front.

Thanks for the info. That looks awesome man! The base sport is the patrician's choice. Do the Kenda's stick out past the fenders? Or are they tucked in by a few inches? Jw as I have barricade tube fenders.

Very slightly I think.
