TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Pro tips @nudavinci64

 

I read a bunch before purchasing and everything I read was positive. So far, they are every bit as quiet as described. I don’t know yet about rain, soon I’m sure and I’m very optimistic. Snow is too far away yet but again I’m optimistic. My goal was to get an aggressive looking AT tire. I had the Mickey Thompsen Deegan 38 tires for a couple of weeks and loved them but ended up not likening how they looked on my truck. Then I found these “RT”s. Supposed to handle like a AT but also tackle MT environments. I love how they handle so far and I love how they look on my truck. Also, for 285/70/17’s I only paid like $685 total after taxes with free shipping from BBwheels.com

 

Hey did you figure out your brake issue

 

Is that the Kenda 601001?

 

Yup, Kenda Klever

 

ive had mine for about a month or 2 now and have enjoyed them. havent gone wheeling in them but just everyday driving they have done a good job

 

Not sure if there is an issue or not. was curious how much drag was expected to Eliminate that. I don’t notice it driving (I think) but wheel off you can hear it probably normal but with the list of possibles for my mpg issue it’s on the checklist.

 

Anyone have a link to a write up on dropping the fuel tank? There was a really good one with some tips for doing it at home hit for the life of me can’t find it. Searched a bunch last night.

The Kenda Klevers are an awesome value. Northern CA (Bay Area climate) road test. I like to mallcrawl and stoplight grandprix....and these tires pass that test. But no snow experience and only moderate rain.

@Lord Humongous and @SoCalTacoTruck would probably be able to provide the off pavement experiences....

+1 to this. Diggin the Klevers.

 

The Kenda’s have been my favorite tire I’ve ever owned, and I think I’ve had just about ever brand.

 

I mirror @SoCalTacoTrucks opinion. I've had the 35x10.5r17s for almost a year. They perform great in all offroad conditions and surprisingly quiet on the road. I will definitely buy them again when the time comes. Not just because they are cheap but because they are legitimately better than the Cooper st maxx and Kenda X3s I've had on this truck.

 

whats the weight on a 285? i cant find it.

 

That’s funny you say that, I just said the very same thing to a buddy last night.

 

I can’t find it now either......but I can tell you that they aren’t very heavy at all. Not like you would think

 

I think I read somewhere on TW that they were 47 lbs.

EDIT: 47 lbs is for the 33 x 10.5 which is about the same size as the 285, just a little skinnier. So maybe the 285 is still around 50 lbs which is pretty light for an E load in those sizes.

 

Yeah most tires that size are gonna be 55-60lbs. That’s light. Lol my 37’s ain’t even that much heavier than 33’s at 72lbs

 

Yeah, I know for sure they are definitely lighter then the cooper stt pros were.....

 

nice what 37s do you have? my 315's are damn 68lbs each. Heavy Pig of a tire.

 

Milestar Patagonia MT. They were cheaper than my old 315’s too. Been loving them so far. Quiet for what they are and have had incredible traction everywhere I’ve used them this far, even snow which is usually the downfall of the mud terrain. But these did just as good if not better then my old Duratracs which are snow rated tires. The only downside to them is they don’t have a reputation for long tread life. Which for me isn’t an issue since it don’t dd the truck. If I can get 2 winters and a handful of dirt miles out of them I’ll be happy.
