Tires BFGoodrich or KENDA
I run 4 chinese tires on my frontier, the 4 are the price of 1 bfgoodrich km3, i have 6000 miles on them, and heavy offroad (airing down to 5 psi, sand dunes, mud, rocks) and they blew my mind, how cheap and good they are.
Kenda Klever A/T2 KR628. I've had them on my R50 for the past year. About 10K miles so far. Solid overall and reasonably priced.
K02s are great tires. Quiet on road and good in mud and excellent in snow.
The kenda klever a are good tires. I’ve got them on my 4 door jeep. Ride nice. Handle everything out and about I get into
K02’s I’ve had went well over 50k, pretty much all I’ll buy now bc I couldn’t find anything wrong with them.
Currently running Kenda Klevar RTs and I think they are my favorite to date, super quiet on road, just did elko to Austin via the BDR, no issues in mud, they were so comfortable on the trail today that I never stopped to air down, great in the rain, got mixed up in the crazy rain in Utah Sunday and no issues. I’m also partial to the kendas because they offer 35x10.5s
I run my Klever RT closer to 35psi. Haven't had any issues, even with a jacked up alignment.
I had these, but the 12.5’s on my JL i traded in for the gladiator. They were good for all but ice. My jl’s stock ko2’s were far better in the snow/ice and i actually missed having them. Live in Alaska so half the year slipping around wasn’t ideal lol. Just some info for anyone looking at these tires
I worked in tire shops for many years and installed many sets of BFG all terrain K02. I used to cringe when I saw these tires on the work order. They are very heavy tires to handle and that weight doesn't help with mounting and balancing. Every time I installed a set of these, there would always be 1 or 2 tires that would ask for an obscene amount of weight when trying to balance. Sometimes as much as 10 ounces on a perfect rim. We would try to promatch them but sometimes they would still want 5-6 ounces. Sometimes we would peel the tire off and try another one from stock if we had more. If we had no other stock, we would slap the weight to it and hope the customer didn't come back with a vibration. Also, everyone I've ever talked to who had these said they turn hard as a rock when they are cold and are terrible on ice.
I've never liked them. Bought one set during a rain storm, literally spun out into the median in front of a Buffalo wild wings while pulling out of discount tire.
