Too bad they won't fit my truck without a lift. That's a great deal.

Assuming the photoshop is correct, those are pretty much BFG at/2s. Noisy, but functional

[Bailey Guns]

They're listed as Kenda A/T2 tires. Probably a knockoff. Still a good deal.

Will see if they honor the order...

[Bailey Guns]

A couple of guys on the OK forum placed orders and got confirmations. Of course they haven't received the tires yet. But free shipping, too.

Kenda? So China, right?

I'm a cheap SOB but tires are one area where I fully subscribe to the "buy once/cry once" philosophy.

I've had good experience with Falken Wildpeaks as well. It was a toss up between Wildpeaks and General Grabber ATX when I needed new shoes for my F-150.

The General Grabber's won out based on availability (local DT had them, but they did not have Wildpeaks in my desired size.) Price was more or less comparable. Of course this was in early 2021 before prices went crazy. I think I was around $1000 OTD. Size 275/70/18 and tires are E rated LTs.

I have some Kenda RT's on my little truck and they are by far the best truck tire I have ever ran. I bought them in December of 2020 for $165/each. I picked them because they offered a true 33x10.50R17 tire and I read a ton of positive reviews on them. I have about 10K on them and have zero complaints. They balanced well, took less weight than my duratracs, are a lot quieter than my duratracs and performed extremely well in the last snow storms we had. I paid $663 for the set but would have still been happy if I paid $1200. I am hoping they continue to make more sizes so I can put a set on my other trucks.

Great price!

I need new tires for my truck, but 35" are unfortunately too big and I would have to buy 17" rims.

Kenda? So China, right?

Not necessarily, but possible. They're made throughout SE Asia...Taiwan, Indonesia, Viet Nam and China. They've also been making tires since 1962 and they have a pretty decent reputation. I would normally agree with you about the "made in China" thing...but for $80 each, load range "E" tires, I'd buy these if they fit my truck.

Those look good on your truck.

For me, they have been great. I wouldn't even say 'good for the price' because they outperformed my $1400 Nitto Ridge Grapplers in the snow by far. They are a good tire, for a great price. Ten years ago, I would have been more hesitant to buy brands other than the big names, but this day in age, technology has come a very long way. As you mentioned, Kenda has been making tires for quite sometime now.

$286 per tire is a "great" deal?

And it looks like they updated the price. It was $88. The "great deal" is over- I wonder if the existing orders will be honored?

You're late to the party. They were $88 per tire with free shipping.

Several guys on the OK shooters forum are saying they've already received shipping notices. It was a legit deal.

[FoxtArt]

I've picked mine up. 100% legit. Full set of five 315R17 Kendra ATs for $400.00 ish (total). That deal kicked ass.

Thanks for the tip BG.

Glad someone got a good deal!
