BF Goodrich KO3, KM3 MTs for Dune and Off Road Running, No One Else?

[kpanda17]

First off, long time 4x4er using KOs and KMs, very happy, expensive but amazing performance.
Is there any reason to look at Kenda Klever? Gripmax Maxgrip? are these just China knockoffs of the best?

If you want American MTs that aren't "designer" priced, go for Armstrong Desert dogs. They aren't American owned anymore, but their roots are in NJ

You are in the same boat I'm in. I was going to go BFG KM3 MTs (35"x12.5"x18") up until recently when someone posted their Kenda Klever MT2s. I've been doing a lot of looking and Kenda is not a chinese company (per their site, started with bike tires years ago).
I've never been a Jeeper but this tire has very good opinions in that community. The Toyota community doesn't seem to have as much to say about it.
I haven't really found a bad review about any of the three Klever series (AT, RT, MT, MT2).
I now plan on getting the Klever MT2s. I've generally run BFG KO ATs on my vehicles.

Also very good price for them here https://simpletire.com/brands/kenda-tires/klever-m-t2-kr629/p/230805
