Kenda has quietly upped thier game I've used their AT, RT and MT2 and they have all been great.

The Kenda Klever MT2 is worth a look. I don't do a ton of mud, but everything I throw at these things so far, rock crawling, mud, deep snow, higher speeds, it has crushed. Just put the RT's on our Sprinter.

I like Icon's for a more mainstream brand and would look hard at them. At the time I wanted something more obscure and went with Reika Rambler wheels, 0 offset. Very happy with the wheels. Smaller company so you get to work with real decision makers, which is always nice. Their gloss Graphite...

It's all good, and i would drink a beer with you on any given day. Its just my observation that mentioning wheel spacers in any positive light has always brought out someone claiming they are 100% dangerous in every situation ever, but ignore far riskier trade offs we all make. My 'end of the...

Borne, it's a Mishimoto owned brand. Had I bought a different offset wheel though I may not have needed them.

Pushing the wheels out will give you more scrub radius. You will feel 2" or more. It will be more planted and provide better steering input. The cost for this is quicker tire wear,and wheel bearing wear. In my case I also have 1.3" wheel spacers and a 0 offset wheel. So according to some the...

Stock SAS Wranglers are 26# if i remember correctly, some will disagree but others like myself don't think they have enough toughness to depend on them for more demanding uses. Almost anything else is heavier. I heard from one of the KOH race teams that we are close to, that the NItto's are...

People, (well middle class at least) don't have near as much cash as they did even two years ago.

I got to sit in on a few hours of Kenda's tire school recently. Ply count is deceptive since they can be of any thickness and any material. I would not over think it, but instead source a brand you trust in the right application and load rating for your vehicle since it is designed to ride a...

I shoot for 20 psi for off road fast driving, if it ends up being 17 psi that's about as low as I prefer to go just to allow some safety margin. If I don't want to air up before driving home I may do 25 psi.

The OEM tires are 26# super light. Not in and of itself a bad thing, but I did split one, totally unrepairable. Saw 2 other catastrophically fail in Baja. If your in the way wayback and want to know your well equipped these aren't the tires. These are OEM for a few reasons, decent traction...

I believe they use that tire because it will give them the best mpg rating, and it's cheap, but fairly reputable.

Kenda has red letters available in multiple sizes. BFG has Red/White/Blue available, but you might need special access to the race versions Tire pens are available to make anything white, I hear they work well.

No they offer most of the tires with red lettering. I understand the tire pens work real well though.

No I was lucky enough to find them without a big markup. I have heard the tire pen's work great though.

Reika Wheels and Kenda Klever MT/2's

Make sure the bearing isn't damaged or anything else in the suspension isn't tweaked. At a minimum put your hands on the center cap areas after driving it a bit and make sure the suspect one isn't hotter then the others.

I think your throwing good money after bad. It is a 26# tire chosen because it has reasonable traction but mostly allowed a certain mpg. They wont magically become better because it is not a QC issue it is a design and weight issue. I would also guess it is your front passenger tire. Most of us...

Really handsome, well thought out. These new ones are a winner. Hubcentric to Bronco ?

No HOSS is same height as a standard sasquatch just a much better ride at offroad speeds, and beefed up steering. On another note I did my damndest to put 37's on with no lift, and then with a small 1.5" perch on the front only. With the JKS tire clearance and new DV8 wheel wells it is workable...
