hopefully weight shouldn't impact me too much..?
weight comes in to play with rolling resistance and the amount of power required for you truck to move the heavier tires. The higher tire weight also take away from tow capacity and cargo carrying capacity.

Its not a lot and there are a mess of different schools of thought with how tires effect some things. But if your not concerned with towing capability and/or cargo capacity, as well as MPG obsessed (I am) than the tire weight isnt a thing to even worry about with the kendas. there are PLENTY of people who are running heavier tires and they are VERY happy with them.

Its always an individual users perception when it comes to tires. But given the plethora of positive reviews, im sure you will be very pleased with the kendas.

i sent mine back because I accidentally ordered the wrong size, and wanted a lighter tire. In retrospect, I could have kept them and been perfectly content.

Got them on!

Felt perfectly fine on the interstate, so I'm content and looking forward to cutting snow!

Update : 13 K miles on the tires. 28K miles on the jeep Was having a bit of vibration last weekend on a toll road at 85mph(texas) Reminded me to rotate and balance.
Did find a small nail on one tire. Fixed. Rotated and balaced.
Forgot how smooth this tires can be. Have been great for wheeling and towing my 5K pound RV.
Would buy again.

I just can't decide on the 10.5 vs 11.5 vs 12.5 tire. I really like the 35x10.5 but I see myself hitting the sand a couple times a year and 11.5-12.5 would work just a little better, right? We do get quite a lot of snow so maybe the 10.5 is the way to go.

I had the 12.50 Nitto Ridge Grappler's and was not impressed in the snow.

I opted for the 10.50 as I really want to see the other side of the spectrum with the snow traction.

My vote would be the 10.50 as I'm 4,000 miles on them, and for that price it was a no brainer.

Pulled the trigger on 5. Couldn't resist the price for 5. Going to pair these with quadratec morphic wheels. Thought about spending more on rims but didn't want to feel bad scratching them up.

I was skeptical about them but I have been very happy so far. I put them on 8.5” wide AEV wheels.

I was going to put these on the 17x9 +12mm Rocktrix RT111 to keep them tucked closed to the fenders. 12.5 on +12mm would have put the tire closer to the inner wheel well. 10.5 seems perfect for me. I think I may pull the trigger on 5 now.
