My Kenda KLEVER R/T's are RUINED!

[@LightningTime777]

Yeah... With those kinds of tires, you NEED to rotate them every 5,000 miles or so. The cupping is not a fault of the tires here.

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

Ya I know. If you watched more at the end I blamed myself.

[@LightningTime777]

@@f1fiftyjimmy totally. It's a learning lesson though. We'll have those no matter what it is.

[@jjmt5668]

When we use another size of rim and tire, the truck will have to make a greater effort. We always have to keep an eye on details such as alignment, balance, correct air pounds in the tires because the cold causes loss of air, as well as how we drive. There are many details that influence the truck, even the transmission can be affected a bit, but that is when we buy used tires. tire rotation is very important there are also many aspects that we have to take care of

[@MrTnesmith]

You probably need new shocks, to control the bouncing of the tire and wheel. Also an Alignment and check ball joints etc.

[@MrTurbo64]

Wheel alignment on my 2004 f150 xlt screw took care of front tire cupping issue . The toe-in/out was off a smidge.

[@mtower235]

Yeah I got behind on rotation on my Goodyear Territory’s. Had the same issue. Just rotate them and embrace the suck for a while and keep up on it and they’ll level back out. Don’t worry bout looks worry about performance in what your actually doing. Panties ain’t falling off anywhere over a tire

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

Ya thats what I ended up doing and they are back to pretty much normal now.

[@jacobsebastien3910]

I Luv my Kenda Kleaver RT 10ply tires on my Ram 2500 4x4 HEMI I have 50,000 miles on this set an next month I'm getting a Brand new set of them, they are Amazing tires that's why I'm going with a second set' I Highly Recommend. Rotation is Very important with aggressive tread tires.

[@speshulktothek]

Half way through the video i was mentally preparing my comment to help you but then you started talking about the issue... you. LOL also in my opinion huge rims and off road tires dont jive too well to begin with, what's the point? You need some sidewall flexibility to get some traction. I would also check the toe in your alignment and maybe do a chalk test, you may have too much air pressure. i have the "same truck" and run 35x12.5 17s with the kenda klever rt's and love them. Rotate more often and coast once in a while, you dont have to be pushing the gas or brake all the time.

[@trigger3704]

Put the cupped tires on the rear and then do a couple good solid burnouts and you’ll leave them right back out !

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

I like your thinking!

[@Drew_1500]

Need to get a alignment checked and the balance of the tires.

[@GUNSLINGEROUTDOORS]

I had the same problem with my f250 I didn't rotate them But the real problem was I tow trailers a lot. it picks up on the front end which miss alines the truck just a little. So that puts a little bit of odd tire wear and then when I took the trailer off The tire would go back to normal and ended up causing chop or cupping depending on who you ask.. All I did is just throw them on the rear

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

Ya I’m guessing from towing my boat a lot and not rotating enough caused it as well. Lesson learned 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@Hanibul_Lecktor]

Step Wear, not cupping. That's suspension, not tire. I've got 27k on a set of Klever RT 33s with the proper alignment and suspension. Rotating at 7,500 to 10k miles. My tires are still 80% tread, zero uneven wear pattern. Also if you're over 2.5" lift, stock components don't have the proper geometry anymore. You said it best, not the tire. If you're hauling a trailer a lot, that's only going to increase this specific issue.

[@lrod2179]

Lol..dude, we literally think alike!!! i spend hours and days for the perfect tires I'm have these same exact tires size and all on my 2018 Silverado. these turned out GREAT. it's that time to replace them. Just hit 48k miles on them after 4 years.. and will say my 2 front tires are cupped do to the fact that I didn't rotate them about last year..or the last 8-9 k miles....totally my fault. I will be buying my next set now.. and run it back!!

[@salbozoo]

I had the same problem. you should rotate your tires every two or three thousand miles to prevent that. I went back to the 285/70/17 goodyear Ko2

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

I rotated them and they actually came out of it! This is the knobbiest tire I’ve ever had and never knew about cupping.

[@cruzzindodge]

I rotate mine around the time the oil change is due so about every 7-8k miles. If cupping is bad just rotate and they should fix themselves if not you can have the tire ground back round which will eat some tread but will give you a smother ride again

[@SeaBeeDave71]

Cupping is a suspension issue, not a tire flaw.

[@kevinwood8586]

My nittos on fuel wheels ride terribly. It's intermittent on the highway but guaranteed bad vibration around 45mph. Balanced and balanced, then put beads in the tires. Nothing has fixed it. Looking at arkon wheels and searching tires. Cross rotating tires help also with cupping and it can't hurt rotating 3-5k miles

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

Ya I’ve noticed from rotating the Klevers now they aren’t cupped as bad. For the price of the klever 22 it’s a solid deal.

[@davidg6079]

Go ahead and rotate them.. And what psi are you running in the i run 65psi. And i also rotate regular.. I haul a trailer all the time i run a landscaping business. And I've had no problems..

[@ThonotosassaBoys]

Cupping is from being out of balance, alignment, or worn shocks, You gotta be anal about tires. Dont over inflate them. Drive smooth, rotate every 5k miles if you spot wear early. I have some toyo 33s that haven't been rebalanced or rotated in 30k miles and theyre in perfect condition. Food for thought.

[@jasonsoutdoorsports8632]

💯

[@jamesm568]

LT tires are a pain in the butt to keep balance and his vehicle is not made for it either.

[@dawima24]

You can have a perfectly balanced tire and it’s still going to cup on the front. Rotate is how you stop that.

[@petersammut191]

I had the cupping on the nitto, rotate more often

[@TacoTruck17]

I have found that with big wheels and tires it's best to rotate & balance every 6,000 miles to 8,000!

[@petersammut191]

I had the exact issue with the looks on the 35 - 12.5 - 22

[@robcs871]

Is noisy on highways? I got one set of tire you can’t talk inside the truck after 40MPH

Nope. If these were loud I would have gotten rid of them.

[@BThompson08]

[@Var272]

Is that why tire noise was so loud because of the cupping?

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

yep, once I rotated the tires the cupping went away and so did the road noise.

[@evanborgerding4223]

Rotation is critical when running an aggressive tread like these. Definitely like the look though. I'm tempted to try them

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

Ya this was the knobbiest tire I had ran and didn’t realize what cupping was. For the price I was happy with them!

[@speshulktothek]

Just read my previous comment and realized it may have sounded dickish, not my style. Just trying to help. I like those headlights, is there really a big difference with regular night driving? I want to upgrade, but those are pricey! I love the pup too, he's cool as shit, but that drooling could be a deal breaker for me. LOL. Nice truck by the way

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

All good bro! I literally can take any criticism. I have no problem throwing myself under the bus! Those lights do make a big difference, if you can find the open box ones on eBay that’s what I purchased (the person actually selling them i believe is the retrofit source). That dog and his drooling I’m constantly cleaning my floor at home. Thanks! If those new Morimoto tails are dope I’ll have to grab those next!
