    Hello
    Anyone have experience with this tire? I am looking at 35x10.5 r/17. Several places on the internet have them at $201

    https://simpletire.com/kenda-35-10.50r17-601015-tires

    I have a 2008 with 6112s in the front at the highest setting and 5160s in the back. Also have rock warrior rims.

    From what I have been reading this combo (size and rim) should fit without rubbing or needing the body mount chop.

    Concerns are:
    unkown brand to me.
    D load range. I have always run E rated tires.
    No mileage guarantee like other brands

    Wants:
    Pizza cutter look. But is 10.5 too narrow? Currently have 295/70 Nittos and have no rubbing
    Lots of sidewall. If I don't get the Kendas I will be getting the Falken Wildpeat A/T3Ws. Probably 285/75

    Use my truck for daily driving. Towing a 3K camp trailer, bed full of dog and extra gear. Cab 3-4 people. Driving on BLM and Forest Service type roads. Some of those get pretty rocky. Maintenance can be very rare on some of them. Also running up to the ski hill but more often I take a Subaru or Highlander with dedicated winter tires.

    Thanks for helping me with my over think and indecisiveness

    Check out platinum2020. Patrick is always willing to answer any questions folks have. He’s running these tires. He also has a YouTube channel as well.

    I believe you will see traction loss with minor wear. The siping is not consistent throughout tread. Some depths are 1/4 tread and some half tread. Dont recall seeing any siping that actually went full tread depth.

    Price point is on point, size is great. But honestly I dont see them long term unless wet traction is not of any concern and your more off-road geared.
