Kenda Klever A/T

Tires are so important and especially to someone who offroads frequently. On bad review of the tire splitting almost all the way is enough to not risk it.

 

Has anybody had bad problems out of these cause I got a price on them and might pull the trigger tomorrow before I go to the mountains this weekend

 

I got new kenda klever tires and I'm having problems balancing my tires I tried to use tire beads to balance them but has not worked, how much weight did you have to use

 

Ive been running the mts (32 11.5 15) on my old 83 f150 which is a heavy (7000) truck compared to a taco, and I love them. Have about 8k for miles on them and still look brand new. I work for a large farm I always have a 4 wheeler in the back and sometimes pull trailers and they take the weight just fine and go out into muddy fields everyday and they really do perform well in it. They claw and clear nice. Also for such an aggressive tire are better than expected on the highway. So for the people saying their bad in snow, I didn't have any problem in the snow and ice, its an mt not made for that but do better than i thought they would. Also they were somewhat of a challenge to balance but that could be due to my wheels, I just threw the bag beads inside and Havnt had a problem with them. I would recommend them amazing tire and then for the price cant be beat

 

Any update on these, looking to get new wheels and sadly will have to get new tires, and mght pull the trigger on there, updated mileage wear, performance and such from anyone?

 

I'm interested in these as well. How do they hold up over time? Is $685 a good deal for the mts mounted and balanced out the door?

 

I guess this thread went dead. Noone has responded with any updates.

 

I have been running these on a Ram 2500 hemi single cab, deep snow, deep mud, rocks and highway. I have no complaint and they are tougher than the fierce attitude MT. They still look new after 6k miles of severe use, tires balanced well and feel lighter than they claim. I spent alot of time at 6k rpm busting snow drifts with the front bumper and crawling through rocks and mud. Tires are 35-12.50-17. The only other tires that survive under me are the BFG km2 .

 

This probably isn't the proper place for this, but as a newb, i'll risk it. Hoping you guys can help me. I have a 2010 TRD DCLB, and man, I love this truck. I live in Philly, and work in Hammonton NJ, 10 minutes away from the Wharton Forest Trails. A couple of friends with jeeps got me into trail riding - mostly sand and mud holes. And now I'm bitten by the offroad bug. (bye bye extra cash) I had some A/T's on the truck that came with the truck (bought used in '13) and was told i needed better tires. Found a set of Klever's on a fb forum by accident with factory rims for $300. Picked em up that day. Put 'em on and the truck wobbled like crazy. Figured they were out of balance, they _were_ only $300. Had a local shop balance them, and the problem reduced. This guy just added weights ontop of old ones, and i knew it was junk work. last time i use them. Took to another shop and had them rebalance them properly, and do a computer alignment. Truck feels great... until I hit 65 mph. Problem is, I had this wobble with the previous tires, but not as pronounced. A friend with a Taco told me to look into the needle bearing on the front, but that isn't it. Any ideas on what to trouble shoot? Thanks in advance for any help, and I appreciate you dealing with me posting this in the wrong area.
Thx.

 

I did some more research and found dyna beads. Put 6 Oz in each tire and smooth as butter now. I'd never heard of them, and am surprised they aren't more widely marketed?

 

I have heard of dyna beads, not real comkon though. Most people dont like the idea of the way they work.
