I have 2 vehicles with these. I have 10000 on 1 set and they still look knew. They are little louder than the ridge grapplers that I have run before. I had a rock go through the sidewall, but can’t make my mind if it was a problem with the tire. The rock was very sharp, and it’s the fist time I have wheeled a 2500, so it could have been just that. I’m used to rock crawling in jeeps and I have never had a sidewalk go in 20years! I think I would buy again.
Interesting about a rock going through the sidewall, given that they are 3-ply (I think).
It is either these the other contenders are Toyo AT3 or cooper AT3 XLT.

I'm also on the fence with these vs the Maxxis Razr 811 AT.
Anyone used the Klever RT in 35x10.50r17 or the Maxxis AT in 35x11.50r17?
Especially with a heavy rig - think 200 Series with RTT, extra fuel tank, wife/dog/3kids, 2 or 3 kitchen sinks and some lead ingots. I'm concerned about sway with the tall sidewalls with a top-heavy setup.
Sorry if I'm kind of poaching your thread jgallo... hope it adds to the conversation.

Is it D rated? What size? Your Ridge Grapplers have sturdy 3-ply sidewalls. The Kenda's don't

I’d be more curious if he paid full price for them. I’m not saying he didn’t - I have no clue, but it makes a difference
I thought the Kenda R/T had 3 ply sidewalls.

I am guessing he did not.

they are 35x12.50x17 e rated.
I’ve been running the 33x10.5 for years on my jeep. Not sure of exact mileage, maybe 40-ish thousand miles now. Still a huge fan. I haven’t been keeping tight track, but I’m guessing about 50% wear at this point and very little tread chunking.
They balance well, are relatively quiet, and get along nicely in any terrain. I was a little surprised by some tail-out action in snow and ice, but chalked that up to stiffness and the relatively light jeep versus the E rating. Airing them down a little more set the world right again.

I'm curious about these tires too, as they just started making a 33x9.5r15 that would look great on my willys cj5. Looking forward to hearing some unbiased reviews.

There are a heap of reviews on the Tacoma and Jeep/Gladiator forums. Most if all are very favorable.
In a backwards way Naters is providing some answer to my question about it's stability with tall and/or heavy loads if they felt it stepping out on a lighter Jeep...
