Oregon and Washington Truck Spotting

Kenda Klever R/T 35X10.50R17 (Load D)

 

Maybe it's the white wheels causing them to slip

 

I have the same ones, never noticed any grip issues until I ditched the heavy ass and went to my tray setup which is much lighter. @Buttskevin21 do you have any issues? I don’t unless I romp on it.

 

I don’t either. Unless I floor it round a turn. Also I’m supercharged and never have any issues just driving normally

 

I always forget you have the Kenda’s too lol

 

Never had any wet weather issues with my kenda RT's....

 

I have 4 35x10.5 Kenda R/T in my Amazon cart ready to check out tomorrow. I can’t hold out for MTR’s anymore.

 

I hope you like them as much as I do.

If you absolute hate them for any reason inbox me

 

I don’t think I’ll hate them. I’ve been running MTRs on everything I off road since they came out probably back in 09’. From what I’ve seen and people swear by the Kenda’s seems to fit the bill.

 

I'm no lead foot, but regularly have tire spin in first gear -- sometimes even in dry weather if there's enough of that sandy gravely road dirt down. There's zero added weight beyond a SmartCap in the back.

Fits without lift or rubbing, right?

 

Everything does with enough cutting and hammering.

 

That hurts me in the soul since I helped you fit yours

 

Dude I know. I feel bad. I’m sorry.

 

None! Doubted my truck weighs 5800-6000lbs, has a lot of weight transfer and theres quite a bit of weight in the bed usually. They do drift nice in the rain now that they are bald

 

Found it again! Parked right down from my house.
It's disappointing

 

So many questions, and I don't even want to know the answers or begin to hear an explanation. Bottom line, bad decisions where made that day.

 

There were a couple other days and decisions involved too

 

I experience the same with the Kenda k-r/t 35x10.5's on my truck, however I wouldn't quite say outright that it happens after someone so much as spits on the road surface, or even because the neighbors dog pissed on my tire again. It's usually in wet conditions, IE: the initial onset of rain, or just after it has stopped raining and the road way is neither dry but it's not double cunted cow pissing on a flat rock wet either. In flat out wipers on hyper speed rain I haven't noticed it vs during what I'd call the transitional rain start/stop phases.

My truck weights about 5100lbs with minimal weight in the bed, no spare tire, just an aluminum tool box and beefy steel headache rack with 3x2 angle iron the full length of bed sides. These tires definitely have some bark or howl to them once they cross that threshold of loosing traction. I had some shithead cut right up the fog line after his lane had ended one morning and just started coming over, leaving me to A: enter the oncoming lane; B: stab the brakes and lock the front tires up which ultimately the the asshat played fuckaround and find out what the side of an ARB bull bumper looks like from his Infiniti.

Also since my truck is an 06, it has always on traction/stability control since Toyota hadn't yet included the trac on/off switch left of steering wheel and the only way to turn it off is via CEL. I've currently got a bad ABS/wheel speed sensor from the wheel bearing being so bad that the sensor started to wear from all the bearing play in the hub.

It'll one tire fire and howl like a sea lion, depending on your throttle input and direction of travel. It's really more of a more than normal acceleration issue for me with these tires than it is a stopping or lateral traction issue in corners.

Other than that they seem to be wearing fine after 3-4000 miles, and I had no issues balancing them using the ceramic balance beads.
