Anybody run Kelly tires?

Depends on how much you care about Rolling Resistance. America Moves By Truck (AMBT) - Moving America, one truck at a time The only two thy list very high on RR. You would loose about .5ths MPG in fuel running those over a tire with a 100 or less RR.

 

My brother runs the Kelly KDA for drives and he has good luck with them. I can’t give you mileage without talking I him but I know he gets about a year and a half out of them hauling cattle, and he runs a fair amount of gravel roads.

 

I’ve ran Kelly’s in the past. #### good tire IMO. Especially if like has been mentioned, your not worried about maximum mpg. My Dad runs them on his farm trucks.

 

not a good tire for heavy loads...

 

I had them before on my drives. After 100k they started irregular wearing. like this in picture.

 

I can't speak for the drive tires but Kelly steers wear out fast. I've tried 2 different sets and was disappointed with them. I'm currently trying out a set of Uniroyal steers. The jury is still out on them. I like the Dayton tires on the drives. They are a long lasting tire and a reasonable price.

 

I know the Kelly passenger car tires are flat out junk! I can't get four of them without at least one, usually three, "bubbling" out at the bead. And they rarely last a full year on a car that does MAYBE 5,000 miles.

After my passenger car experiences, no way in heck would I trust a Kelly tire on my drive axles!

 

Here is what I have and so far they seem great.
After 95k miles, perfect wear and 22/32nds tread depth left.
Semi aggressive tread and made in USA.
11R22.5 General Ameri-Steel D460 Commercial Truck Tire (14 Ply)

No experience with Kelly tires but figured I’d throw another option your way.
