P1000 Kenda Klever XT tire

[Cobber4082]

Yes I know another tire thread, search here didnt yield any discussion of this tire but it looks to check boxes for me and was looking for feedback... Economically priced, DOT rated, good ply rating, low weight, true sizing (according to website)
My uses are on P1000-5 typically hard pack dirt, some rocky terrain Wisconsin, Arkansas, Colorado types of riding
thanks for the input

So far thats my leanings, supposedly $640 delivered so not terrible. How horrible could they be if they are round, black, and hold air right LOL

There is so many different tires out there and people ask questions so much about the reviews. If you can’t find them in the search they haven’t been tested yet on here. Sometimes like I’ve had to do in the past you just got a roll with what you think looks good and try them out might be surprised or you might end up with your dick in the dirt LOL

I have kenda klever MT on my ram pickup. They have great traction. I have been all over with them. They are loud but ride smooth. They don't last very long tho.

I have a lot of experience with the Kenda Klever R/T on pickups. The X/T is based on the design of the R/T. The X/T is slightly more open/aggressive. The R/T's are awesome tires and they get a lot of miles, and they are much quieter than the M/T's. I have been wanting to see a set of X/T's on a side by side and get feedback.

You are correct. Sorry I had the wrong picture posted. I had the kenda and I have the federal now.

Did you go with these tires? If so what is your report on them? Did you like them?

I did. Purchased through Dennis Kirk. Got a wheel tire combo kit. I have not had them on any trails yet. Road riding is huge improvement... quiet. They do throw rocks like motherfukr tho. I assume that will be same with most any tire of that pattern and being the wider offset stance.

Did you go with the same size on the front and back?

 

[Cobber4082]

Did you go with the same size on the front and back?

Yes I did 28x10-14.
I have about 800 miles on them so far via a trip to the UP last summer & black hills last fall. I still like the tires and have been through some decent mud, climbing both dirt and sand hills, many highway miles etc still quiet and newish.
Side note 1000-5 basically stock and have not found any situation that caused any rubs... I would buy again if needed.

This thread is exactly what I was looking for! Have the Texas Tough Customs 6" long travel kit sitting at home that arrived today and waited for me to get home and install this weekend and am going to jump up to a 30x10x14 from a 28x10x14 setup. I have been torn on what to go with between the BFG's and the Kenda klever. At this point would you buy the Kenda's again?

Yes I would if cost/value remains the same... the kendas at the time were significantly less $$

I'd do the Klevers.

Worst case scenario, you find out it's the wrong tire for you and minimize the loss.
Best case scenario, you find a great tire at a low price.
Either way, there's only one way to find out!

PIODH once you get them on !!

Do this.

You can rotate tires and, if you choose to carry a spare, you carry one spare for all four corners.

28x10x14 on stock (or aftermarket) wheels is VERY common setup for an unmolested P1K (don't say it, @TripleB or @JenElio).

Well I just ordered the Kenda Klever tires in a 30x10x14 flavor! $730 with tax shipped to the house. Figured I can't get hurt to bad at that price. And yes Scoop, I will leave plenty of proof that it happened once it happens. Hope to get the lift installed this weekend!
