Default 35x10.5x17 Kenda Klever RT

Anyone running these? Thoughts? Pictures?

I'm not a fan of 12.50's...I like the "pizza cutter" look if you will...but thinking I need to go up from the current 285/70/17's I'm running now and these keep popping up as a more affordable option in an obscure and generally over-priced size category...

Also open to any other ideas on skinnier tires in the "35's" ballpark...current tires are just a touch too small for the wheel wells now that I changed out the fenders IMO...

Will be interesting to see the feedback and reports on the Kendra's.. Agree, on 12.50s really a handfull on wet pavement.. even 11.50s on the Gladiator make it interesting. Both are Toyo OC ATIII bought before the "Vid shutdown and price explosion.

I've been running these for the past year on both my 07 JKU and MY 21 F350, I absolutely love them! they're great in all conditions. I live in northern Utah and see everything from sand, snow, ice, and hot summers. I'm running 37x12.5R20 on the F350 and 35x12.5R18 on the Jeep

Good to hear @Blanco Customs most of what I read has been positive...seems it was a popular option circa 2020-2021 when they were running under $200/tire...these days under $300 a tire is "good" for them.

Haven't seen much else out there, the MT Baja Boss I think comes in a 255/85/17 which is roughly the same but a 10.0 width which I also don't mind but look like they're running $60-70 more per tire...

I'll dig through my receipts but I believe I paid right around $1,100 for all 5 mounted and balanced with taxes . . .

Dude! I just checked online and you're right, you can't find them under $300 a tire. That's too bad. . .

already lifted and running 35x12.5s, so not worried about the tires fitting, just want to avoid spacers

no spacers. I've since changed wheels
