I have been extremely happy with my purchase of these Kenda Klever tires for my 2017 Ford Flex. They have been very quiet and handle the road very nicely. I haven't had them long enough to surmise tread wear or winter handling but I expect they will exceed my expectations there as well. Great service and great price from Simple tire as well. Very quick shipper!! I will definitely purchase these for my wifes Honda CRV when the time arises!!
Thanks

This tire, despite its economical price, rides just as well if not better than other, more expensive brands. I am very satisfied both with the tire and with the service I received from Simple Tire.

The tires that I got from Simple Tire was great. The price was great and the customer service was outstanding. I will never go to a tire shop again. Simple Tire is by far the best company I have ever worked with.

Overall good tire as i now have about 30,000 miles on them on a Tundra. I blew one out and opted for the Uniroyal Tiger Paw for replacement and so far i like this one a bit better, but time will tell. I got the Klevers on sale for less then $70.00 a tire and gave them a try and they handle well on dry roads and ride good.
Price went up so as of now i would spend the extra and get the Michelin Defenders instead. I will update you on Tiger Paw. Uniroyal is owned by Michelin now.

Saved almost $200 on this set and so far am pleased with them. They ride nice or better than the stock tires that came on our 2015 Murano and I am sure they will last just as long if not longer.

Okay, so here's the deal with these. When I first put them on I was SUPER impressed. They are very quiet and I experienced them through rain and snow and these tires are just as good if not better than Bridgestone Duelers, which I have had two sets before the Kenda's. What I've had some trouble with is that after four months I noted a vibration after my first rotation. I had them balanced three times and it would not go away. Finally, it was determined that the tires were out of round. Simple Tire was great to deal with. Sent them the letter from the tire installer letting them know of the trouble and got two new tires right out. Less than a week later, new tires on and on my way. Since then I still have a slight vibration but not enough to pursue any further action.....but it is noticeable but I am a bit OCD about that kind of thing as I drive A LOT!
I don't yet know about tread life but so far the tread wear seems typical and that I might get 50,000+ out of these. Traction is great, noise is great, had a little trouble with quality/balancing and not sure yet about tread life. At this point I can't say if I would buy these again, but we will see.
