Kenda Klever R/T KR601 35x10.50R17

They measure pretty much dead on 34” at 36 psi on the Jeep. Here are some photos.

Forgive me if I missed it but are you running any kind of lift?

Nope, suspension is bone stock. Plan is to install a 1.5” leveling kit and maybe 3/4” in the rear.

Looks good! What do you think of those rocktrix wheels? Been really contemplating some, are those +12 offset?

The quality seems great. The finish was perfect, they’re hub centric which I like. No complaints. And yes +12mm on a Max Tow.

Thanks, I couldn't really find much info on those wheels and the price seems right. Really helps seeing the offset, I was thinking I wanted the +12, don't want rocks being thrown down the side.

Yeah, I’m happy with the +12 with the 10.5 wide tires. They poke out just a bit with the max tow’s slightly wider axles. I definitely wouldn’t want 12.5 wide with the -12, you’ll be way outside the fenders. The listing on amazon for the wheels has a nice diagram of what to expect from the different offsets, it helped me make my choice.

Thanks, I have an overland so the narrow axles, but thinking the -12 would wind up pretty close to what you have since I believe the axles are about 3/4" wider each side

Did you remove the bottom air dam or just the fender ones?

You have to remove the bottom air dam to get the fender ones off so I didn’t bother putting the bottom back on. I don’t know if it will rub or not.

How are these working out in snow and ice?

Will find out in the next couple months. Weather hasn't turned yet where I live.

They do relatively well. Probably not as well as ice specific tires but i hit some snow and ice on the way back from moab and i didnt die.

Thanks for all the info, gents!
As of right now Walmart has the 35x10.50r17 D range for $159. Not a big fan of Walmart but at that price I got five from them.
Garage is filling up while I wait for the Jeep to get here... Eyeballing the Hutchinson Rock Monsters pretty hard since tires cost half what I was estimating.

Is that an in-store price or online? I'm seeing them for $200 online. I haven't bought the spare yet and was going to jump on the $159 for that. I despise Walmart as well, but I bought the 1st (4) from a local shop for $205 ea, so my conscious will allow me to buy (1) from Wallyworld.
