    In the market for some A/T tires. 285/70/17. Firestone Destination A/T can be had for cheap. Terra Grapplers are at the top of what I'm willing to pay. I stumbled upon the Kenda Klever A/T tires on ebay for 580 shipped and was wondering if anyone has used them or has heard anything about them. I have done research for about 2 days and haven't found anything at all on TW and very little elsewhere. When I did motocross years ago I ran Kendas on my bike and loved them. Thoughts on the Klever A/T?

    I've never heard of Kenda Klevers FWIW. Had to see which topic this was in. Sounds like a porn name to me. :notsure:

    I personally have the klever Mts. So far great tire for the money.

    I had a hard time balancing them at first but I think I may of had a bad rim. Balanced fine with new wheels.

    that's good to know. Ive heard of slight balancing issues but other than that it seems like all good reviews.

    I have access to those AT but I've never seen them in person or sold them. They run under $130.00 a piece. Not too bad.

    Yah I went ahead and bought them yesterday. $520 for 4 MTs delivered to my door. So that's $130 each. Hopefully theyre cheap cause the co. is new and not cause its cheaply made. Well see. Ill throw them on in a couple months.

    I run the Kenda Nevegal 2.35" wide tires on my bike. No rubbing on the fork. I tried the 2.5" wide size but I would've had to do some serious trimming (which is apparently a no no on a bike, who knew? I just thought I could apply everything I saw on tw to other things in life..)

    They looked better than I expected. Here's mine when I got them9630C345-37D7-4F32-BCF2-2C4B957DFF3E-612_6263beca4909accbe7bdca8a5a4f7cb5c9182602.jpg

    That's pretty cheap with shipping. What size did you buy.

    They don't sell the m/t in 286/70/17:(. What do you guys think? Think I should oull the trigger? Its either these or I shell out more cash for nitto terra grapplers. If the kendas only last me 30k they are only 580 total. Just worried that they won't look aggressive enough.

    They look aggressive enough, look at the above pics. The 255-75-17 were $130 each in load c on Amazon. 265-70-17 were $156 in load e on ebay. Free shipping with both!

    Those are the m/t though. I need 285s or they will look too small with my spindle lift and they don't sell m/t in 285 with a 17" rim. I would have to go with a/t and I'm worried thr a/t pattern isn't aggressive looking enough.
