FYI - Kenda Klever R/T KR601.....NEW size on the way..... 33x9.50R15LT (22 Viewers)

[stclair]

Ordered today. Went with one of the EBay vendors…currently the best price I could find. Wrestled with my decision to go with the MT vs RT. Ultimately went with the RT mainly because more folks here have them, and reviews have been mostly good. MT looks a little better in my opinion, but my 40 will spend half of its time on pavement.

Did you guys running a stock carrier/rims all add a spacer?

Look forward to getting them mounted next week.

And they’re on. I like them!

Ahhhh....fresh meat! Got my Klevers installed, replacing 235/75/15 KO2's that were badly rotted. With the 2" OME my rig is a whole new beast! Much improved ride and the look of these 9.50's is perfect IMO.

Those look amazing! Can't decide on RT or MT, but I agree that the MT sidewall looks much better. Any feedback / complaints on road noise with the MTs?

No spacer needed. I made some adjustments to the stock carrier to keep it from being wobbly. It’s rock solid now. The hinges were worn and nylon bushings would be insufficient, so I drilled & tapped the hinges and added these bolts and lock nuts. It was easier than machining brass sleeves.

These tires are LEGIT and look amazing!

I've been waiting on these to come back into stock at Walmart as they had the best price that I could find. They used to be listed at $195, but I noticed this morning that they are now $248 - still out of stock though.

Finally decided to pull the trigger. These tires look fantastic and will look even better once I install my lift.

Have you picked out a lift yet?

I put in Bilstein shocks and I'm going to match it with Dobinsons springs.

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!

Thread 'Where Have you Driven Your 40-Series This Week?'

Apr 11, 2025

Is there any interest in starting a thread to share 40 series spotted out on the road?

Every now and then, you catch one. Out on the dirt or rattling down some two-lane highway. A 40 series. Not on a trailer. Not behind glass or rusting away out in a field, but out doing what it was built to do. If you happen to see one out there under it’s own power, let’s see it and hear about the journey!

Bonus points if you spot one through the bug-splattered windshield of your own Cruiser (be safe!).

This thread is inspired by other threads as a compliment to them.

I am running the 35-10.50R17 but I am very happy with them. They fit a 40 perfectly.


They don’t throw gravel though, they throw full size rocks.

255/75/17 wanted to stay in load c so went with this size. Just put 18k miles in 3 months on them fully loaded with 5 people and our life packed in the back no problems. Did have to run more air than I wanted to keep the side walls stiff but had zero problems on sand, rocks mud, or pavement. Plus without all the gear and full 50 gallons running the tires at 35 psi is no problem.
