What's your opinion on those red labels? Did you like them?

I really like them b/c I haven't had a tremendous amount of free time with work for wheeling and have had to put more hwy miles on my truck. They are very quiet and smooth on the road, not yet sure how they'll do down here in the SouthEast.

Not try to start anything here but you're not going to be impressed by kendas either. Not trying to bash anyone that has them but they're dirt cheap for a reason.

Each person has their own opinion. Have you run them yourself?

they are competing with BF m/ts.... Kenda have been making tires a long time and are starting into the automobile tires. Im more than happy to get them for that price. All the reviews are great!

No I have not, that's why I'm not trying to be necessarily assertive. Tires are a big big part of a lot of factors having to do with everything from longevity to ride comfort. It sounds like the OP has looked around and done research so kudos. Its nice to see someone actually searching around rather than just posting threads on every forum looking for the miracle answer. I would just hate for someone to buy tires for the wrong reasons or because of the price tag is cheap (even though for some people that plays a big part). Once again, not bashing or hating, I'm just thorough by nature.

As am I, and the Kenda Klevers had good reviews and were the right price. I wouldn't recommend someone not buy or use a tire unless my personal experience with said tire warranted that recommendation.

I do have personal experience with the Klever M/T's. I had a set of 32x11.50's for roughly 12,000 miles. They wore really well, didn't make a lot of noise at highway speeds, hooked up great in sloppy mud and loose gravel. They were decent on rocks but, I didn't spend a lot of time with them in on rocks so I can't really say much about it. The reason I sold them and went to duratracs is snow. They are absolutely awful in the snow. If the snow is super deep and heavy, they do okay, at best. Couple inches of packy snow and they were really, really sketchy. The duratracs were much more practical as my dd rarely sees sloppy mud but, sees quite a bit of snow. The duratracs are a million times better in the snow and do everything else, aside from deep mud, just as well. Unfortunately, the duratracs don't come in a 32x11.50 so I had to go with a 31x10.50. I would highly recommend the Kenda's to anyone who wants a solid mud tire for a damn good price but, with how bad they suck in the snow, if you live up north like myself, I'd pass on them.

I will be finding out for myself here shortly since it sounds like the snow is coming. There's always the balancing act to find a mud terrain that is decent in the snow or go with an all terrain that will be good in all conditions but not great in any (I say that loosely since there are some tires that are great in multiple areas).

That is the majority of mud tires and snow. They are terrible.

Already started something by giving a review on a product you have not personally used before. Do you even know anything about the Kenda brand?

Just wanted to give an update. I've got over 1000 miles on them so far and no issues. I finally put them through a real test last night of mud and wet sand. They performed VERY well, I didn't struggle with anything I came across.
