Very happy with the tires. They have a lot of road noise but no more than I expected. They handled very well on wet pavement.

Can't recommend highly enough. I've had the chance to use them in 5in snow on the road- awesome. Wet and dry roads. And some fire roads. They have been flawless in every instance. Can't say for wear. Not enough miles. Some other reviews, both personal and professional have said they can be rotation sensitive. I rotate mine every 3k when I change the oil. They are not loud by any means. Smooth on the highway. Have to say, they have exceeded any expectation I had.

Great tire.
I was worried getting into these since I'm used to nitros and stuff. These are just as good if not better for much less.
Very comfortable for being a 37 inch tire

I went from the Falcon Wildpeak AT3's to the Kenda Klever RT's. They were pretty damn good all around, but they were never very good on wet pavement or on ice, in my opinion. But I did get almost 100k out of them, believe it or not, mostly highway miles of course, and rotated religiously. However, the Kenda Klever RT's definitely have superior traction, especially if you have an ecoboost engine and a lead foot! lol! We got plumetted with ice followed by a foot of snow here in Missouri this week (Feb 2022), almost everything was shutdown. No problem for these bad boys! Ha! I was out making new tracks in a foot of snow and ice in my 2015 Ford F150 FTX, having fun the whole time! I'll be buying another set of these, for sure, and I just ordered four new Kenda Klever AT3's for my wife's 2018 AWD Ford Explorer too. RT's won't fit.
