Default Kenda Klever A/T tires? Opinions

http://www.tireteam.com/item_detail?...EN2428953015CW Has anyone heard of this tire? They are roughly cheap and have an aggressive look to them, a big upgrade from my tires now. I think I may be buying a set of these come summer. Let me know your opinions about them and what you think when you see them whether they be a or a

haha but what do you see in this tire as expected performance? We all can tell when a tire is designed like the bfgoodrich tires that they may not be amazing in mud and that a tread like the super swampers is not the ideal DD tire but what can you see with these?

My jeep is my DD and deal with mostly high ways and back roads but when I go off road I plan on dealing with mostly mud and water pits. Do you think the tread will stand up to the mud my tires now don't get too much grip, just enough that I don't get stuck and would love to improve on that

Never heard of Kenda for anything but bikes. If you are looking for cheap and proven, go to Treadwright.

I checked treadwright and they don't have much to offer in the 30/9.50/15 department sadly. I really like the look of these and would like an outside perspective on them

For that price, better off with some Falken Wildpeak or Rocky Mountain ATS in the 30" flavor for just a little more $

Those would suck in mud. They look like someone took a razor blade to the Michelin All Seasons that my parents run on their Mazda.
