I imagine @JackA would say ‘you can always grind it off’
What exactly are you referring too here?

Built to Grind.
Just got some with 2 day free shipping from Walmart. Kinda crazy low price point these are at right now compared to all other tires at the moment...
Test fitted them on my troopy to see if I'd want to put them on it aswell and then finally put them on the 40, looks great!

In describing them to people, I say it looks like a kid drew lugs on the sidewalls with a sharpie. I will say the tires look way better in person than in pictures though, and the symmetry makes it look like an older tire design - which I like on an old truck.
All things considered, I would have bought g003's for my 45 if they made a 33x9.5x15. But - I am really happy with these and pretty surprised by how good they are.
Can we see these mounted on your 62 @gumbyfj40 ?
I think the sidewalls look cool. My ST Maxx, not so much, but still bought them; it’s a long way down on the decision process honestly.

I am a long ways away from really needing new tires for my 40, have a ton of work still to do before she is back on the road, but at that Walmart price I guess I should order 5. I sort of like the way that they look.
Might as well. Mine are tucked under the stairs while I wait for new OEM rims and hubcaps I ordered to arrive - could be a month or two.
@woodsfj40 I am in the same boat, but I moved forward with purchase because of price, unique new tire, in case I have to tow (my old were shot, and we live in fire prone area), and will really motivate me to push hard to finish.
Some more pictures with the tires on, a great deal for some great looking tires
Look ruff n reddy - gotta love 'em!
I got out an did about 70 miles of dirt on the tires last week. Came back after 1 night due to covid (fyi covid spreads fast inside of a 45 cab) but was blown away by how smooth the truck rides on bumpy roads. It went from exremely rough to very smooth with the addidition of these tires, new leaf spring bushings and bilsteins all around.
Inspiring truck and scenery...

Bummer - Walmart just jumped the price $100/tire: Robot or human? - https://www.walmart.com/ip/Kenda-Klever-R-T-KR601-LT33X9-50R15-113Q-C-Tire/310713867
Yup up from $178 to $274 per tire. Too much for Chinese rubber.

Pricepoint probably controlled by a computer algorithm. The new capitalism.
ouch. Well I guess mud saved me $500!
Keep an eye on it, it may go back down. It has done it 3-4 times since I posted the link.
FYI, these are not China tires. They are made in vietnam, probably with all chinese supplied materials. But, they are not made in China. Additionally, Kenda makes damn good tires for mountain and dirt bikes, so far these seem on par with those. I dont think I would pay $274 per tire for them, but I might.
