New video on the Kenda Klever's!

I'd love to snatch a skinny set of 35's and not worry about firewalls

 

Do it! My favorite tires. Just good all around, I can't complain.

 

Cutting compared to 33's? I don't want to mess with a firewall smash to be honest. I don't mind an aggressive cab mount chop

 

You have to do a CMC and some minor trimming of the flare + fender liner. Not much work.

 

Fitment of 35x10.50x17 on a 17x9 -25

What do you guys think? Run the 10.5’s, or switch to 12.5’s and cut the fenders?

 

I say go back thickety thick and be done with it.

 

Definitely a consideration. Just takes the effort, lol!

 

quit being lazy and do it for the STANCE BROOOOO!!!!

 

Alright alright, I'll put them thicc boys. Will look proper with the front bumper anyways.

Thanks for the man card reminder

 

How heavy are just the tires in 35x10.5x17 ?

 

I don’t recall, check Kenda’s website

 

Truck is super clean, really nice build. What kind of highway gas mileage are you getting with the current setup?

 

Edit: I think 68lbs. I think.

 

Hey thanks!

Depends in headwind. 16.5-18mpg! It’s about to tank though.

 

Not bad at all. I'd assume that is with consideration correcting for tire size, correct? And what's going to change, more weight?

 

Yes that is with correction for tire size. My screen before correction usually says 15-16mpg.

Yes! Front bumper which makes it less aerodynamic and wider tires. I’ll probably lose another 1-1.5. I stopped caring though cause I pretty much got an RV at this point

I’ll also add a winch! Stoked to have one again. I never got to use my last one...and I got stuck in snow bad once, that I swore I wouldn’t do snow wheeling without it again!

 

Thank you!

 

So, how many tire and wheel combos are you sitting on right now?

I don't mean any offense, I just think its funny. Also, how do you edit out your videos so fast.. you are lightning quick with that. I'm sitting on one build video plus 40 days of travel footage. Ugh
