    Gotcha. I think my problem is I went from Duratrac's to Grabber ATP which is a substantially less aggressive tire. 95% of my driving is road so wanted something more comfortable and quieter. However, they do look quite a bit less substantial and even though they are winter rated, they left me wanting better snow traction.

    I know mine are 285’s and you don’t want that. I think they sell mine in the size you want......look at the Kenda Klever RT. Acts like an all terrain with mud terrain characteristics.

    Hmm. Interesting. Maybe I need to test fit some 255/85 and see how those fit/ride with my setup. I wouldn't be opposed to swapping out early, LOL.

    I’ll tell ya what......I LOVE this tire. Quiet as advertised and great in the rain as stated in the reviews. This winter I’ll see how they act in the snow. I’m positive I’ll be happy as they will do what the reviews say. I’ve had duratracs, Cooper stt pros, nitos. I like these the most. And they are very affordable. Look them up on BBwheels.com

    @JuanitoBunito those Kendas do look nice. We need to get them to start making some for 16” wheels!

    Nice pics! I have a place in Kihei, Maui that I was only able to visit for 7 days over spring break this year before having to fly home early :(

    What else have you done to your truck suspension wise? (Links?)

    Thats good to hear. I know the mud guys have long been huge fans of Kenda's MT but they never had a good AT tire. I'll be interested to hear how they balance and wear over time. I have about 15k on a set of Cooper STT Pro's that I put on around Christmas and have been miles better than the BFG K02s I ran for 70k. Based on the tread pattern and sipes I would expect them to be pretty good in deep snow and passable on slick roads, similar to the STT's.

    If someone at Kenda reads this, nobody that offroads runs 20" rims.

    Mmmm, I'm interested in these! Don't remember them being an option back in the day?

    I like rake, but sometimes I think I have too much...

    Since I have to install new springs anyway, would be a good time to put these on as well!

    I think Toytec made these maybe a year or two after the Baja’s release? Members here have used them with no trouble. A couple guys took this setup to Moab and that’s what really convinced me lol. I do feel some of the preload with it though. I like rake too but it was tough for me to find a happy medium. But I loved the way our editions look from factory so I wanted to replicate it as much as I could.
