Kenda klevers R/T

Hi y’all, I just bought these tires. They are RT, so rough terrain tires. They are 10 ply with three layers of polyester sidewalls. Load E. Very aggressive looking and beefy tires. The reviews online and in YouTube are off the charts. These are 265/70/17 but they are 32 inch so a little bit bigger than most other tires its size. Is anyone in this chat running on these? I have a 2015 forerunner with a 2 inch lift and was looking for wheels. Wanted to know if anyone was using these tires and what wheels they are using. Specifically wanted to know the offset and backspacing of your wheels? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

 

I am running 285/75/17 Nitto trail grappler and they are M/T tires. I have a 2.5 inch front lift and I barely scrape on things in the front at full lock. Granted I have a BMC but yeah this will be no problem for you as this is a small tire in comparison.

 

Good to know. I love the wheels!

 

Relation Race wheels. They took a while to get but well worth the wait imho

 

Those Klevers are great looking tires! A lot of the GX470 guys are running them and really like them. I thought hard about putting a set of my 4Runner, but I do 99% highway driving, so I wanted something lightwr and a little less aggressive.

 

No thanks.

I’ve been running these on my 4th gen for over a year and a half and I’ve had nothing but great experiences with them. Even took a nail between the lugs but it never pierced the actual tire. I’m running 285/70R17 on stock wheels but I added 1.25” spacers to avoid rubbing on the UCA

 

That's a screw. Not a nail. And it hit the lug. Not between them.

 

No such thing as American companies anymore. Kenda was owned by Cooper, then split up and is now partly Chinese and Vietnamese. I believe I have a set of them on either my UTV or ATV.

 

You can find tires made in USA though. Here’s one place:

it can be difficult, but non-China products can be found. I do my best to not support a regime that is so abusive of its people. If China-made is the only option, I try to remember to pray for the individuals who actually made the item.

 

Like TrailRunnah said, lots of GX guys here in the Southeast are running them and have great things to say about them.

 

I love how now you have to be like a world class detective to figure out where the hell the tires are made because like with wheels manufactures do everything they can to hide the country of origin.

I have used Kenda tires, but only on bicycles.

 

I have been running mine since May 2021 in FN wheels, -10 offset, they did great so far!

 

Thats great to know.Sweet rig BTW

 

thanks!!

 

How do they do in the snow(on road/off road)? These are my top pick for my next set of tires. 35x10.50's.

 

I haven't driven (yet) on pavement with snow unfortunately. But off-road they have been doing great, the only time I got stuck was because I bottomed out.

 

If you ever get them on pavement in the snow let me know.

 

What is the weight of this? For some reason they don't list it on their site? Thanks!

 

Don’t know about those but my 285/70/17 Load E are bit more than 60lbs each

 

Not sure. They are load E so hefty tires. I don’t have a scale but by picking them up I’d say around 45-50 lbs

 

I emailed Kenda to find out the weight. They weigh 55.13lbs each (LT265/70/17).
