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

I got 5 for $1,100.. Should be here sometime next week.

I have a schedule for a CMC at a local shop and then I'll toss em on. I might not even need the CMC but figured it wouldn't hurt.

 

yeah i didnt get a 5th. my goodyear MTR 35x12.5 has never been used. so didnt feel like getting another one. as a spare it will do what i need it too.

 

It needs a CMC

 

So is the consensus w/ those running these that snow performance is good to excellent? Appreciate any feedback.

Also @socalexpeditions , what weight are your wheels?

 

So far so good but I live in Socal, so can’t offer too much snow experience.

My FN’s are 21lbs

 

The 35x10.5 is being mounted as we speak. Little worried about the 8 ply, but for the price worth a shot.

question in airing down. Running true bead locks with a little weight up front, but only spare in back. What pressure front vs rear. Wife wants smooth. I think the previous pressures listed seem a little high so I am planning to experiment, but was hoping for a starting point.

 

if you’re running headlock why worried? Wouldn’t be concerned about the 8 ply.

 

I’m at 40 hot for long trips and 36 normal. Thats just what I chalked at. You might be in the 34-35 psi range.

 

I noticed that they start hooking up well below 15 psi. I normally run mine 12 front 10 rear and my truck is a heavy pig

 

Ok. 12 and 10 seems closer to a starting point. I do most of my wheeling within 30-40 miles of my house with minimal pavement between house and gravel so the pressures I am looking for are a combo of ease and comfort desires. Comfort on these boney roads and ease to drop and air back up to get home. Should have it home Friday (with luck) from the shop and will give comments after a weekend of breaking in new gears and testing rubber.

 

They’ve gotten me up a severe rated trail or two so far.

 

Oh offroad I run 10 psi no beadlocks.

 

So far so good! Put about 1k on them and they still ride nice and pretty quiet. These things balance out great also!

next to the 285s

 

It looks like Your flares are still uncut, how easy were these to fit? A lot of the guys with these tires are 3rd gens, so its nice to see a set on a 2nd. What are your wheels specs as well? These are supposed to be a little easier to fit, but they're still 35s, just wondering how much work it was getting these on a 2nd gen.

 

@TommyG has a Maxtrac spindle lift, which moves the wheel 4" lower in the wheelwell. His clearance will be a lot more than yours.

 

Dang, that's too bad. I thought that lift looked a little high, good looking truck though.

 

I did the usual CMC, pinch weld beating, and a little trimming. Didn’t have to do any major cutting. As mentioned I have the 4” Maxtrac spindles so I get a little more clearance. I run my coil overs with no preload set at 0 lift so the truck rides amazing. I can go up another 3” if I need more clearance but I don’t want it that high and only slightly rub when I fully bottom the front out hard against the bump stops. Wheel specs are 17x8.5 0 offset 4.75 backspace.

 

You will still want to cut flares on a 2nd gen

 

Mine have taken me places

 

How much lift are you running? Cmc? And do you still rub anywhere?
