Kenda Klever M/T on my truck love them. Although i've ran mine for a LOT LONGER than necessary. Years. Theyre done but its a quick trip truck . They all hold air and sat for long periods without moving and spent atleast a year sititng in 100+ summers and low 40s winters.**^ I do use it atleast once a week to run down to the store and keep her runnig. I highly recommend Kenda Klever M/T tires.
Love the look of those Kenda RTs on your Ram. I think for my Gladiator, the Kanati Trail Hog will be the ticket though. I get a lot of snow in my neck of the woods and don’t put a whole lot of miles on my truck so wear isn’t too much of a concern. Side note that you may already be aware of: Your front passenger spring looks very bowed as if your control arm is too long. Thanks for the thorough video!
Thanks for the rundown on those tires. I live just a bit south of you and have similar terrain that I run with my Jeep JL. I look forward to your feedback on the Mickey Thompsons as I've heard good things about them too. I would like to try the Kenda Klever MT2's but I'm concerned about their winter performance. I heard they are sketchy on packed snow.
The trail hogs, im building out a gladiator ecodiesel in hopes to get the kids out west do some trails and remote camping, some crawling.. would these be a bad tire to try (im in wisconsin so 80% of the tire will be drive to work) I got the lift ordered im just on the fence between the trail hogs vs a name brand, nitto etc.
Great tire. Awesome in packed snow. Good rock tire. I got 10 months out of it. But again, I'm on trail a lot and I drive mainly very curvy canyons (too fast) which wears my tires out quick. BFG's look great. I'm running a set of K02's on one Jeep and a set of Kenati Trail Hogs on another to see if the trail hogs last as long as the K02's. A lot of simalarities in design and tread compound, so we'll see. Big price difference.
I have a lifted cherokee xj on 35s. I live in Denver and I am looking at getting a set of Kendas but I was wondering what your thoughts are on which is better the kenda RT or MT
They're both great. Obviously the MT's will have a little more road noise and are more agressive. They both last a good amount of time. I'm pretty impressed by both. The MT's aren't the greatest in hard pack snow, then again, what is really?
@madisonhitch thanks for the reply. I'm assuming these perform better on the highway than the MTs but how do the kenda RTs perform on the roads here in Colorado when it snows? I'll probably have to use four high regardless but some extra traction would sure be nice especially going up into the Mountains in the winter when the roads are slick
@@LetsGoHeat305BFG just came out with the new KM3 all terrain which is a much improved version over the KM2. You will have to check on your size though as they are rolling all the sizes out in the next couple of years. If they do have your size I would highly recommend them. Second choice would be the new Goodyear Duratrack kevlar with a close third to the Kenda RT.
I'm currently running the km3 mts 35s on 15" rims but their discontinued in my size I like the new km3 ats but the smallest size they come in for 35 is a 17" rim. My buddy has the baja boss ats I'm super impressed with its grip last time it snowed we were trying to have fun in an empty parking lot and they would not slide at all when he would try to fish tail it blew my mind probably the best all around tire on the market
They clean out well in mud. So far I've had great luck in rocky terrain. Not to bad in snow to be honest. The side lugs are awesome in rock as well. They tend to last longer than most other tires. We haven't had any punctures or issues.
I’ve had rt on my discovery 2 for about 4 years now heavy off roading and daily use awesome with low noise on freeways
Love how you say you know about tires and the tires on your ramare cupping from bad shocks out of balance or lack of rotation

How are they doing? are the MT's noisy?
You should look into the maxxis at or the mt the at is a 50000 mile tire a another tire is hercules tires both are around 1200 a set . For 35s
They look like they dont wear evenly on your truck. You having problems with them not wearing evenly?
The trail hogs, im building out a gladiator ecodiesel in hopes to get the kids out west do some trails and remote camping, some crawling.. would these be a bad tire to try (im in wisconsin so 80% of the tire will be drive to work)

I'd do the Nittos. Those trail hogs wear out fast.
What’s the tyre specs and size on the yellow jeep? I really love the stance of them.
37x12.50R17 tires. Jeep has a 5.75" lift. The wheels are 4.5" backspacing.
Have you ever triend the goodyear mt/r with kevlar?
Yeah, they wore out a little quick for me. Loved the performance though.
'Sup!? Thoughts on the K02's? I just got them on my truck

The Knati Trail Hogs look good? How are they?
They're great in snow. They do wear a little quicker due to a tad softer rubber compound. The upside of that is they hook up well on rock terrain.
Have you tried mickey Thompson baja boss and what do you think of them?
Edit: Haha I should have watched till the end before asking.
How's the off road performance of the Klever MTs?
They clean out well in mud. So far I've had great luck in rocky terrain. Not to bad in snow to be honest. The side lugs are awesome in rock as well. They tend to last longer than most other tires. We haven't had any punctures or issues.
How's road noise on paved?
What size Kendas on the yellow jeep
37"
