Kenda KR29 M/T

Found these for $550 they are LT285/75/16E Kenda KR29 M/T looks like a solid deal to me and a cheap alternative to the more expensive MT.

I want to put them on factory 16" wheels with 1.25 wheel spacers, should I have any fitment issues? I'm not afraid of trimming some plastic and could do a CMC but if rather not of it was absolutely necessary.

Anyone here have experience with these tires?

If not guess I'll be the guinea pig!!!

 

Put them on and find out. You already stated what needs to be done, I would also flatten the pinch weld so it doesn't slice those tires open. Pretty good deal for a set of E rated 285s IMO.

 

X2 550 ain't a bad deal.

 

Yeah true, I'm picking them up this weekend and was just wondering if I should go ahead and EXPECT to have to trim and chop.

 

Never heard of the tire so maybe and maybe not. Put them on and flex in a ditch or something, it will tell you what you need to do to stuff them.

 

That's a really good price. Go for it and post pics!

 

will do bud!

 

Install tomorrow!!!!

 

Nice

 

Iv been riding on mine for the past 10,000 miles. No issues yet. Besides them being heavy as hell. They balanced out good 2.

 

I've had a pair of Kenda's now for over a year no problems at all.

 

what kind of lift do you have? I want to see what these look like installed

 

How are the road manners? They shop says they are "LOUD" going down the road..

 

Not that bad really. My wife even agrees with me in that.
I had them on factory wheels for a while before I switched rims. Never had any issues rubbing. But then again don't get off-road much. Which is where most see problems at full flex.

2 1/2" OME lift and 3" all pro rear leaf springs.

 

I've got 1.25 wheels spacer and will need a CMC they rub when stuffed in the wheel well.

But looks great and has a mild hum at highway speed.
