    I recently installed the Kenda Klever RTs in 33x10.5r17 E-Load on my 2013 SR5 4wd and i've put about 300 miles on them. This past weekend was my first time out actually off-roading with these tires and they performed extremely well. The terrain was wet/damp North GA mountains and the trail was tight with 1 larger muddy water hole and tight cornering and some off camber obstacles, a few hill climbs, ect... It was a little bit of everything honestly and 4wd high clearance was definitely needed. I was aired down to about 25psi. I never got into any situation where I felt the tires were letting me down. They just hooked and booked. On road they are very good and don't ride rough at all. I keep the fronts at 37psi and rears at 35psi (did the chalk test). Wet traction is excellent as is dry. They are quieter than a KO2 as well. I can only really hear them around 50mph, anything under or over and they are quiet. My only real complaint is weight. They weighed in at 60lbs per and I can feel it in the 4runner. Offroad it doesn't really make a difference but on the North Georgia mountain roads I could tell the 4runner was lagging a little. But that weight means a tougher tire to handle off-roading so its a trade off. Super happy so far and if you're looking for tires definitely look into these.

    I have them too and fell the same as you. They look rugged and perform flawlessly off-road while giving you a smooth ride on street with very low noise. I love them!!

    Great review! I have a Tacomaworld buddy who ran the same ones, and just loves them. He just swapped them for 35's of the same tire.
