Took a trip to Stony Lonesome Off road park in AL over memorial day weekend. Had a blast, was a little harder on it than I should have been, but didn't break anything :-)





















Getting ready to plan our next trip out, can't wait to hit some more parks in the SE

 

How'd the Kenda's hold up in that clay?

 

Surprisingly well!

I went everywhere our group went with the same if not less effort in some instances. Ran them at about 14psi the whole weekend, into town once or twice, and then aired them back up and drove 10+ hours home. Did a couple creek crawls and found I had more traction than I was expecting on the damp slippery rocks.

I think the limitations I was seeing came from my lack of lift/articulation and width on the tires. We were with another JK that was sitting around 4.5 inches of lift with 37x12.50 MTs that walked up some climbs I had to throttle over.

 

That's encouraging that they did so well. Maybe they'll be the next Patagonia MT where everyone rushes to get a set and enjoys them for their mud ability. I'm always on the lookout for new tires.

 

I'll wait after a few more trips before I toss out an official recommendation but I will say for a 35 inch tire they rub very little due to the width so folks trying to squeeze a larger tire in there with little to no lift these could work quite well.

My brother had the LJ in our group and he's on 35x12.50r15 Patagonia MTs, his rig performed well too. There was an older gentleman out with us running a JLUR with the 38" Patagonia MTs and he struggled more than a couple times to get up some of the more challenging obstacles with just an idle climb, he wasn't about the skinny pedal at all though, if he couldn't crawl it he didn't do it (had the nicest Jeep there too so it makes sense)

 

I've been looking at the Kenda Klever RTs. I wanna run the 35x10.5x17 on a stock Rubicon with no lift (yet). How are you running yours and are there any rubbing issues in turns or articulation? If its an issues might go with the 33s. Any info would be appreciated!!
