    Anyone have any experience with the Kenda Brand?
    specifically the Klever MT (285/75/16)

    Im shopping around and price is a concern. Im not able to drop enough to buy a set of KM2's (255/85/16), which is what ive been wanting for a while now. For a new set after warranty is roughly $1,100. Im in need of new tires as the ones I have are "Blemished" and give off a bad vibe especially on highway

    Im debating if I should buy 2 new Km2's for the front and pay about $550 now. Then in a month or so, buy the other 2 Km2's and rotate the new ones to the front.

    or

    Buy a whole set of Kenda Klever MT 285/75/16 for about $675 w/ warranty.

    I know they make good mountain bike and ATV tires, truck tires sorry. They have been around for many years though.

    I just bought a set of a/t. I think they weren't balanced right but even then I only notice it because i know no one else seems to notice so it isn't bad. they look better than I thought and people have told me that they look larger than they are. (285/70/17)

    How long have you had them on? Are they a MT or AT? If they are new I'd say take them back and make sure you get then "Road Force" or "Ride Match" balanced and don't leave till they are balanced or you have a new set.

    If they are used then I ask... Did you keep up with routine tire rotations and proper front end wheel alignment? Those help with keeping tires balanced and round
