At the time didn't really know how hard the trails would be on tires and bought with that in mind.
That's what I plan on running for wheel size. Those tires are definitely the ones I see on Craigslist but the price is higher now. I'll have to see if my local shop can get me a price on those. Thanks again.Originally Posted by Fred/N0AZZ
I run a 15x8" wheel with 3.75" of BS here is a photo of them on mine for what the tire looks like. Mine were bought for mostly off road use and the price was not a factor but the owner ran them on his trucks (for farm use, feeding cattle) and personal Hummer he was quite happy with them.At the time didn't really know how hard the trails would be on tires and bought with that in mind.

Cool. Thanks for the info. Right. That's why I posted was to find ppl who've actually run one of those tires. I'm reluctant to buy tires online, at least ones I've never seen in person, from eBay since any warranty or road hazzard, if even available, would probably be a nightmare to use. Thanks again.Originally Posted by jt_aleshire
I run kenda klever on my jeep and I have no complaints they do well in snow and off road I drive them on the interstate often have put around 8000 miles on them they still look new no loss of lug only thing that could improve is road noise just because u have read a bad review of someone else experience doesn't mean u have had a issue with it yourself so your opinion is here say I also run bfg ko2 on my truck which is my daily driver again no complaints but the bfgs were 600$ more and when I'm off reading or goin in the snow I always end up in the jeep with the so called junk tire lol take it however

Thanks. That's a very good point. I am just beginning to research this, and other stuff as I plan to do more lift and maybe some armor, so I'll have some time to watch CL to see if something in my size comes up. Always liked those but we're outa my price range.Originally Posted by srb53150
for off road only just find some used super swampers, 350.00 probably get a nice set.people buy them then get tired of them or want to go bigger. always on craigs list

I'm running the Kenda Klever's and love them. Have around 30k on them and still plenty of tread left. They perform great off-road, in mud, on trails, and on rocks. I have beat the hell out of mine and have no complaints. For the money they can't be beat.

Had nankang mudstars (all over ebay) in 31s. good tires, performed well offroad. were loud, but I expected that. sold them when I went to 33s.
33s were Treadwright backbone. Great tires, beat the snot out of them for 5 years of wheeling trips in iron ore rocks, not as sharp as flint, but not still rocks. finally gashed 1 about 6 months ago, still need to get it vulcanized and use as a spare
know a guy in local club with kendas. said he loved them, first set of MTs IIRC. haven't seen him in a while.
CL tires: in my experience, have no tread in most cases and fit a 20" rim. there are exceptions of course, spent a lot of time looking and didnt' find much.
BFG KO2 on the daily rig. Great tire, wears well. Did ok in mud, where I least expected them to perform.

The company that supplies many small dealers in a lot of states with these tires as well as many others is located here where I live, Monett, MO.. They have a very large warehouse on the main rail line it's called Friend Tire and they deliver to stores with trucks that are bluish in color and has an Indian Head on the side of the trailers.
