I've seen them online, not much about them. Huge bicycle tire company, not so big in automotive

Got one as a spare with my Jeep. sticker still on it. Looks like it'll perform as it should.
Cheap tires can get a bad wrap, some actually work pretty darn good. Off road tires like this one should work just fine for what they are.

thanks guys!! They were a good price. I got 32x1050. They look pretty darn aggressive. One of the reason I bought them was because I used to race gncc and I would buy Kenda tires for my quad and motorcycles. They were well priced and darn good. Hopefully their off road truck tires are the same. They deliver tomorrow.

I have never seen kenda tires on a car or truck, but it the mountain bike and atv world, they have one of the best reputations, and they seem to take pride in tire quality so I would assume they have the same standards for themselves on vehicle tires

I have a set of 32-11.50-15's on my ZJ, love them! They work awesome in the mud and snow, and do great in the rocks. If I had to pick a nit or two, I would say they're a little noisy on the road and they run a little small. A 32 is closer to a 31. Good wear and decent road manners. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

that's what I ordered. 32s. Well. 265/75/16. Which is around a 32. They came today. I though have them mounted by the weekend.
