FYI - Kenda Klever R/T KR601.....NEW size on the way..... 33x9.50R15LT (2 Viewers)

[gumbyfj40]

I got a set of 5 delivered today. Initial impressions are they look great and are skinny. Unmounted measurements are

32 1/8" tall (1/2" crown)
8.5" section width
7.5" tread width
50.5lbs each

I'll get some more measurements after I mount them on stock 62 chrome wheels. If you want anything else measured let me know.

Sexy can’t wait to see them mounted

 

[gumbyfj40]

Mounted:
32 1/2" tall
9.5" section width
7.5" tread width
80.6 lbs on 62 stock wheels

Balance: Three had 1oz or less weights. Two of them had 4oz+ weights on them . I'm taking those back to remount and rotate the tire.


On Vehicle FJ40:
35psi
31 15/16" Tall

They flattened out a lil but they definitely fit the bill for tall & skinny. I like how they don't bulge out like 10.5" tires on 5.5" wheels. 2nd photos is a 40 steel wheel with 33x10.5r15 Maxxis RAZR's next to the Kenda's. I'll update later with driving impressions with the 40 and 62.

Mine came in last week, got the wheels painted, hub caps cleaned up and tires mounted, then put them on the truck today. They came out exactly perfect, 31.3 at 30psi in the front. Truck drives and looks much better

Glad someone scored off of that deal. I was pretty surprised as how deep the tread is on these as well, I’d buy them again from what I can see so far.

Does anyone have any first impression stories after running these tires a few days/weeks?

I really like them. Quiet, ride nice, agressive enough and took very little weight to balance. The sidewalls are not super thick, but my 45 is not a rock crawler. I would 100% buy them again. Might get a set for my forward control as well. The tread is much deeper than the pictures show as well.

 

[unimog]

Walmart.com still has free shipping on the tires....

Does anyone else not love the look of the sidewall "tread"? Too much of it and too symmetrical to me (from the pics).

I got mine installed last week,I don't care for all the side wall tread ether. Kind of don't pay any attention to it after awhile,It must be a thing seems more tires have it now then use too. Might help in rocks with side wall bruising.( get a good bit on curbs parallel parking.lol )

21st century version of curb feelers.
