Kenda Klever R/T KR601 35x10.50R17

[AmosMoses]

I would not prefer my Kenda Klever R/Ts 35x10.5x17 over my Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/Ts 255/85R17 (35x10x17) if conditions were more wet than I experience.

Simply because you’re not going to beat an all terrain tire (A/T) with a hybrid (R/T). Especially a narrower A/T one.

The Mickey Thompson are my dedicated winter tires/wheels. Fantastic too.

Would race to buy/replace Mickeys first.

Kenda have less siping and no stone ejectors.
I have no need for stud holes too.

Mickey Thompson left and not yet mounted on wheels here. Siping says all.

That's good information. I'll need to replace my kendas in the next 10k miles or so. I would prefer better wet traction.

First two tires profiled:




Excellent information: Mentions not having 12.5” wide on his daily.




Some more:




I will also say that Falken WildPeak AT3W are wet weather oriented. Says so on their website and are a great tire.

I’ll go Kenda again if I can get 5 for $900 again but I’ll look elsewhere if I’m paying normal prices.

How many miles is everyone getting? I’m only at 15,000

I think I bought mine for $200/tire a couple years ago. Mine have about 35k on them.

I've got 33x10.5-17 size not 35 or larger. No complaints about them on wet weather driving a good tire not certain on how many miles on them, over 35k miles I'm sure. I think I seen some cupping on front tires so I definitely need to rotate them. I do have reduced MPG's running them, the tradeoffs of traction is acceptable for me for now. Definitely grab and throw rocks, mud too. The tires performed well in the past winter snow for me.i would buy the same brand again especially if I can get them for a good price.... probably be 35s next time and 12.5 wide. especially if I get around to installing the lift kit I got.
Where and what you do with your vehicle is key on dictating tire choice. I drive alot of road miles but quite a few gravel and lesser quality roads mixed with clay.

Ordred 5 of these today last night from Walmart. $1,315.02 for all 5 of them, or $238 per.

Another happy Sport / Max Tow / No lift customer on the 35x10.5 Klevers. Went with the wheels off of a Willeys Wrangler

Just put on my second set. Drove the first ones down to nothing. 45K miles.
Saw a good deal on Amazon and had them delivered to a shop near me for free.

Glad you’re liking them AND living the stock life

The Kendas are my dedicated winter tire, with studs they are unstoppable.

Jumped on the Klever RT bandwagon today. I bought my JT used a couple months ago already on Nitto 37s, and after reading thru this thread, I jumped on a set of 37x12.5r17. 100% improvement in road manners, not to mention how much quieter they are.

Put some 35 kenda klevers on today. 1.5 teraflex level also.

Sorry to quote such an old post, but I just picked up a leftover '23 Willys that looks just like yours and would love some more pictures. Any rubbing with the stock wheels and no wheel spacers?

I know you weren't asking me, but I have a '21 Willys with the Kenda 35x10.5 tires and a 1.5" level.

No rubbing with stock wheels. I don't have spacers so I can't answer that, but spacers shouldn't negatively affect anything either.
