Getting them out on today.
I have no idea why the forum changes the rotation of my pics like this. It was taken straight up and not horizontal as displayed.

Finally arrived. Took her home yesterday.
Installed my 35"x10.5 Kendas. Love them so far. 1.5" leveling kit.

What PSI are you running them at?

35 Lbs

I may drop down to 30-32 see how they ride. I’m at 35 now. They ride good and smooth. Just going to play around with them

Post your findings. Have fun. Great tires and quite on road. Very happy with them and you can't beat the price.

Installed these yesterday and very pleased so far. Jeep drove great back home and was very happy with the road noise and overall ride quality. Have 38 PSI on them now and like JT “Charlie” said I might play around with it.

Nice. What wheels are those and what size?

Nice work! Pic once installed please.

Those are Black Rhino Arsenal in 17” with +30 mm backspacing. The backspacing won’t work on a lifted truck. I am adding a Teraflex 1.5 front spacer and daystar .75 for the rear as well as Teraflex bump stops. Should cover all the wheeling I will do with the JTR takeoff suspension and good for daily driving.

Has anyone seen the price drop recently? I'm afraid 174 is the lowest it will be for a while...

That’s the lowest I have seen in a while as well. Still a lot cheaper 35 than Nitto, toyo, etc.

and how do they compare with those brands?

So far I am happy with them...I can’t compare them personally to those brands but all the reviews and research I did on them of other people that have ran name brands and went to Kenda were first surprised of how nice they are for the price and really have nothing bad to say about them....I can tell you they are very quite on road, the mild off-roading I have done they have great bite. The only negative thing off the top of my head is they throw rocks bad. My in-laws live down 2 miles of gravel...we took the Jeep and I was driving 10 or under and ended up with 2 pretty good rock chips on the door hinges....and my tires tuck pretty much under the fenders.

Im also looking at getting the Kendas and to me your single Con is no different than having the Falkens . Mine slings rocks at will, I have the Tyger foot rails and Im glad I do for thats what I mainly here the rocks hitting.

On another note, the $174 price has been fairly steady. Im haven't seen it drop less that that in quite some time now.
