Kenda Klever AT2 tires

Anybody running these tires? If so, how do you like them? I know a few are running the RT’s and these look a lot like them, just not as aggressive.

 

Quick glance at them tread pattern looks very similar to the Falken ATW3's. I'm sure they would be good tires. Haven't heard to many complaints about Kenda tires

 

Running Kenda Klever RT 35x12.5r17. My neighbors a sales manager for Kenda. When I told him I was interested in BFG KO2’s, he sold me on these bad boys! Plus I couldn’t pass up the sweet deal he got me! Just got em installed, but will test them in the snow and off road next month.

 

They look good!

 

Buddy just installed the RT and they have met/exceeded his expectations! Previously using a KO2 fwiw

 

You may have just sold me on them. The RT definitely has a more aggressive sidewall. They are sharp looking.

 

I say go for it! My buddy spent twice as much on nitto ridge grapplers, and they look just as aggressive, and still silent on road. My neighbor that got me the Kenda’s worked for Mickey Thompson for years, and swears Kenda is up there with the best. Plus Kenda’s been in the rubber business a loooong time.

 

I was gonna ask you how quiet they are. Everything I’ve read said they are very quiet for an aggressive tire.

 

Buddy was shocked how quiet, very surprised he said.

Pretty sure he sold me on these as my next set ha

 

Kenda makes good tires for mountain bikes. All I know from them

 

Yeah very quiet. Here’s another angle.

 

Those RTs look great. Just ordered a set of Kenda Klever AT2s in LT275 70 R18 and should have them mounted within a couple weeks. Currently running a set of KO2s that just hit 45k and I haven't been impressed. For the price, 50k mileage warranty, and 3 peak snowflake, I'm willing to give the Kendas a shot. I'll report back once I get them on.

 

Post up pics when you get them. I’d like to see how they look compared to the RT’s.

 

Look forward to seeing those AT’s, and what you think of them.

 

Got them mounted yesterday and put just over 100 miles on them. Out here in Washington, it rained heavily most of the day and I can say that I'm pleased with the wet weather performance. Time will tell the overall performance but so far, so good. I'll post again once we hit 1k.

 

They look awesome. I just checked Walmart. Looks like $128.98 each, which seems really low. The pic is not right but according to the chat I just sent them, it is correct. I am going to order them for that price.

 

That's the exact same deal I went with. The pic is incorrect but they definitely sent me the right tires!

 

That makes me feel better because I just ordered them for that price. That’s hard to beat!

 

My tire installer was even impressed with these. He had not seen them until I brought them in.

 

So after driving about 200 miles, I will say they are very quiet. No noticeable difference between these and the stock Michelin. For $570 delivered I think they are a helluva good deal.

 

Did you happen to get a weight on this size?

 

imo, come back in 30k miles and tell us if you still feel this way. If so, great! Hard to judge from a few miles.

 

I’ll see if it says on mine where they were made in the morning.

Not sure of the weight but after throwing them in the truck, I would guess 50-55 pounds or so.

 

I was looking at Kenda (31x15) for my Jeep project. I like the tread and the price is low. I'm running 295/70/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers now and love them.
I bought the set from a neighbor for $350 with 75% tread. No one gets to dictate to me what product I buy regardless of origin.

 

How are they now? Have more photos? I'm considering this size.
Is your suspension all stock?
What is your wheel offset?

 

What lift or level do you have?
Any rub?

 

Yeah replaced suspension with bilstein 5100. At top setting it’s just under 3” lift. No rubbing now, but yes cutting and bmc was needed.

 

Finally got the tires in some snow. They handled amazing! I was getting a little worried cuz I saw some pretty mean 4wd’s still sporting chains, and I didn’t have any. Had to drive up some really steep icy roads that scared me a bit, but truck and tires handled like a champ!

 

No new photos but just hit 2k on this set and have absolutely no complaints. They've spent some time off road and in the snow and so far they're wearing well with no issues. Running 5100's all around with the middle setting up front. Wheel offset is +25.
