Tires

Recommended Posts

Looking at a new set of tires and don’t want to pay $2k+ for another set of bfg ATs, so I’m looking at some cheaper options. Truck is a Silverado 1500 that drives about 5k miles per year as a weekend driver and hunting vehicle. Light towing with a small trailer or boat, no serious off roading, but will be on a lot of dirt roads in both northern and southern Az. Just wondering if anyone has experience with Kenda or RBP brand tires. I’ve never heard of RBP until a couple days ago, but I like the looks and the right up (and the price), but not sure of the quality and durability. Tire size is 35/1250/20 and prices are pre-tax, free shipping and does not include mounting or balancing. Let me know if you have experience with either the RBp or Kenda. Thanks.

RBP Repulsor R/T- $849

Kenda Klever R/T- $1249

For comparison-

Toyo Open Country A/T III- $1539

BFG all terrain T/A KO2- $1951 (after $100 rebate)

I am in the same boat as you are almost the same truck. I believe I have settled on some Copper at from Walmart the set is around 750 plus install. Looking at the reviews most of the bad one I see where do th the Walmart shop employees not knowing how to balance a tire. I typically buy big o Bigfoot and like them but at 1500 a set I just can't justify it

These are more expensive but I love them. They are also only sold at Discount. Cooper ATP II. Nice tread, LRE, and about the height youre looking for. 275/65R20. I use my discount card for 0% financing. I run these tires on my 21 and 23 F150, and on my 10 F150 (different size and on its 2nd set). I also run the AT3 version on my Excursion. They are excellent tires.

I've been running Kenda Klever 35" m/t for the last 3 years on my Raptor.  Lots of off-road use and trips down to the valley. They wore really good for a pretty long time, then once they started wearing, they wore quick. I did have some bad tie rod ends, so they did cup pretty good in front. No problems with chunking or flats. Going to replace in next couple months.

I've ran Kenda tires on dirt bikes and quads for many years and have had great luck with them.
