I have the nitto terra grappler g3. Was significantly lighter than the ko3s I usually run.
I will add that I saw that Consumer Reports gave a surprisingly good review of the Kenda Vezda Touring 4S.
Dry braking: 4/5
Wet braking: 3/5
Handling: 3/5
Hydroplaning: 3/5
Snow traction: 4/5
Ice braking: 4/5
Ride comfort: 3/5
Noise: 4/5
Rolling resistance: 3/5
Tested tread life (Miles): 50000
Verdict: "Pros: Impressive snow and ice grip as well as dry braking performance. Cons: 50,000 mile projected tread life based on CR's test is so-so. CR's Take: A great choice if winter traction is a priority."
I only run Nitto now. BFG let me\nDown a few too many times. That said, ridge grapplers are on two of my cruisers and the newer Terra g3 on the LX. Both perform great in heavy rain, on/off road, rock, mud, etc.
Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/45 R22
I have Nitto Nomad Grapplers on mine and really like them.
Rides much smoother than stock, less bumpy and not noisy at all.
I cant speak for the K657 specifically, but I ran a Kenda K761 rear on my CM400. I found that the Kenda tire chipped and fragmented really easily but otherwise was just an OK tire.
So I just put 285/60/20 nitto recon on my 22 tundra from stock tires. I don\u2019t me if it just me but I feel like there a lot of road noise from these tires.
Absolutely not. Radster trail. Can't get replacement tires anywhere. Particularly the original Kenda Havok Tires that came with it.
I changed my OEM Nitto Terra\u2019s that came on my Pro out last week for Baja Boss AT\u2019s after only 15K miles. They were scary dangerous on wet roads.
