Had these on my mountain bike, and heard everyone on the Lexus GX forums comparing them to the Wild Peaks. I wasn't enamored with the wild peaks on my GX but sold it before swapping them for the Klevers. My daughters crosstrek was outfitted with 15 inch wheels and BGF KO2's. They had an unbearable howl at 20k and I couldn't stand to ride or drive it. Klendas were installed and they feel more comfortable (less sidewall) and much much quieter. These aren't mountain peak rated but I bet they feel softer than the BFG's. Klendas siping (or lack thereof) on these KR28 maybe the difference between being winter rated or not.

Good tire so far. Have about 5K with them on my Ram 2500 grip road well and handle gooseneck trailer well. I was a little nervous when I got them taller and skinnier than stock but fit the wheel well nicely. Not many other reputable brands of tires offering an E range tire for under $200.

These tires are decent for the price, however they become noisy after about 20k miles of driving even if rotated every 5k miles.(I drive about 40% city, 40% highway and 20% off-road.) they are also very hard to balance and they are heavy so expect a drop in gas mileage.
I will be switching to falken wildpeak at3 tires as they are a better performing and quieter tire for just a little more money.
other than that, no complaints, the tread life is very good.

For the money, you can't beat them. I read reviews before I bought. Several people mentioned how hard they were to balance. Depends on where you have them installed. I had no problems. Yes, they may ride a little stiff, but they are heavy duty truck tires. I run 65 lbs of air and drive construction sites daily. So far, extremely impressed.

Using tires on 2004 Tahoe, and tow a car once a month. Has been a great dry and wet traction tire but does have noticeable road noise (Hankook ATM was quieter). I would purchase them again !!!
