If anyone changes out their SAS Territories for the Kendra 35-10.5 I d be really, really interested in mpg effect, either positive or negative; and ride/handling comparisons.

What PSI should you run these at? I just got some of these and the shop put them at 30. It’s a nice ride! But wonder if that’s too low?

Good feedback on this thread! About to order a set and am leaning towards the 10.5’s. My only holdup is looks. 12.5’s just look tougher…. Form over function?

What are you running for wheels? The 12.5 on the base BL wheels may rub the UCA. 12.5s on Squatch wheels or anything less than +30mm offset should be fine.

12.5s for sure...10.5 on zero offset look a little weak IMO
With the 0 offset and 10.5 tires, I should be pretty much flush with the sas flares. With 12.5, I’ll have a slight poke?

This is a photo of Kenda’s KR601 37x17x12.5 on Zero offset RTR wheels. Sasquatch fender flares. If you look closely the rear tire & fender flares are visible.

Depends on the width of the wheel but yes, the 10.5s will be close to flush, maybe just a hair beyond.

Any mileage updates (mpg) on Goodyear MT vs Kendra? Also any head on photos of the Kendra on stock SAS wheels and flares?

Thinking the 10.50 on SAS wheel/flare may cut down rock and mud flinging onto doors.

Are there any other tire that competes in this ~35 x <11.5 x R17 Size? I really like the narrow look but these are the only tire I have found this tall and this narrow.

I've been running Kenda Klever RT in 37x12.5R17 for about 6 weeks now. So far, I really like them. No issues in dry, gravel, dirt, or snow.

Side note. Walmart has 35x12.50r17 Kenda klever r/t on price rollback right now. $243 per tire. Seems like a good price. Basically the same price as the 10.50’s
