35x10.50x17 Kenda Klever R/T Kr601 Thread *SKINNY 35s*

Put the 35x10.5s through the ringer down in Moab. Tires did great, and held up to a lot of abuse. Some chunking and gashes here and there, but too be expected with wheel speed on the rocks. Also got 21mpg on the drive to Moab, and 18mpg on the way back with stock gears.

 

Atleast you have access to these tires, I’ve call everywhere, no Canadian distributer has them in there wearhouses. Open up the borders!

Put in qty 4 or 5 and you'll find the total cost with shipping and import fees to be competitive with 35" tires from other brands available locally. And the good thing about eBay is you know the tires are in stock vs. something maybe backordered 2 months with a local shop. That particular eBay seller is a Kenda-approved distributor, for what it's worth.

 

Funny how the fuel economy works with the larger tire diameter giving an effectively taller ratio huh? I find my truck holds the gear better at 120 kph / 75 mph with less hunting (maybe because the truck thinks it's doing 68 mph).

 

1400$ Canadian inc shipping and duty. Just sucks shipping to lower 48 is free and to cross the border all the sudden adds 195$usd shipping. I live 10 mins north of the Washington border.

 

Yeah! She idles on the highway haha. I get better highway gas mileage than when I had the 33s, with the 33s it had no idea what gear to be in even with the Ov tune.

 

Yeah I tried to store them in my house when they first got deliver since I have no garage. Stunk the whole house up and had to store them to the truck bed until they were mounted. My truck is parked outside always so haven’t noticed any further off gassing.

 

Maybe someone in the PNW thread can help you out. Doesn’t hurt to ask!

 

Anyone tried running a mismatched 33" spare with these tires? Did you have to turn off ABS or VSC? Thinking of carrying a deflated 255/85-17 or 33x10.5-17 spare because it fits under the bed.

 

I seem to remember hearing someone fit a 35x10.50r17 under the bed with a little persuasion.

 

I run a 33" spare for now until i build a rear swingout, and you'd definitely just have to turn all the electionic stuff off on the road if you ran the 33 with the 35

 

35x10.5 fits under the bed. Cut the exhaust and deflated the tire. Push it, push it real good. I was surprised when it fit.

 

I'm considering a set of 35x10.5 17 Kendas, is anyone put these on a 9" wide wheel? I'm stuck on the Fuel Crush and they only come in a 17x9. Let me know your feedback - thanks.

 

You will be plenty fine running them on a 9' wheel. I wouldn't go any wider though!

 

Mine have been fine with 8.5 wides, usually air down to like 10. I've burped air a couple times, but just on hard hits/bottoming out the wheel

 

I run mine on 7” wheels so they stay nice and tight. It was the skinniest recommended wheel for the tire. Max wheel width is 9.5” so you will be fine at 9”.

 

The poor man's beadlock!

 

Where do you buy these tires? I can't find them anywhere
