What site? Reliable source?
It was here on Expedition Portal - the home page. It’s been long enough you just have to search for it.
I should have clarified. I meant what is the source of news that Falken may come out with this size?Sorry.
That was on one of the Instagram off road posts. I’ll try to find it and repost here.
I’m at about 20-23k miles, haven’t paid close attention to the specific number, on a JKUR with the 33x10.50 on stock JK wheels. Installed height ended up at 31-5/8” IIRC. I’ve been generally very happy, quieter than the BFG MTs I was running before, but much heavier. You feel the weight in driving. They feathered a little bit as I let them run through 8k without a rotation, and had the expected noise after rotating as the feathering wore down, but not bad by any means, and nowhere as bad as the previous tires. Probably my only negative observation so far has been that they spin out on snow a little more than I expected, but airing down seems to correct that. Since I live in the desert and trips to the snow are a specific event, I probably ran in with too much air to begin with. Much of my off-road has been on sharp and abrasive Sierra granite. They have done really well. I don’t really get in mud often, but they seem to do well everywhere I’ve been off-road.

I personally would stay away from them. I haven't used the klevers before but I had a brand new set of the kineticas on my van. I had them less than 2 years and three of the four had catastrophic failures within a month of each other. Just my two cents though.
Well I do have them. About 5k on my jku. 35x10.5. Very very quiet, no noticeable wear so far. No serious off road but miles of 3-4” mud on dirt roads. Very nice.
I got them for the narrow aspect and because they have excellent reviews on the wrangler forums from people who actually have them. Very popular with the pizza cutter crowd.

Kenda is not a small company they are a very large motorcycle and Bicycle tire manufacture. The kendas are absolutely amazing , never tried them in mud but in sand ,snow ice and rain they are fantastic . Even though they are d rated they have a thicker carcass than most e rated tires hence why they weigh so much . Pictures do not do the tread and sidewalk tread justice .
