    anyone else running these? I have 245/75/16 on my stock tacoma and these seem to be pretty awesome tires in the 4 or 5 months I've had them. The reason for the post...I haven't seen many (read almost none) reviews for these tires. I'm not a serious off roader but they do pretty well for what I've put them through in Maine (winter and any trails/off-road I come across). Any other input on these for other people who consider them?

    Curious how you like the tires? Like you I cant find squat for reviews, but I am highly considering getting these 265/70/17 on my 2016 TRD Sport. I don't really off road, but i do pull a small camper and small boat.

    So I am by no means automotively skilled and the only other tires I’ve had on my truck were the stock ones. I’ll say the Kelly’s have really treated me well. Seem to wear pretty good and have gotten me through some mild off-roading where the stock tires definitely would not have. Hopefully that helps.

    I have a set of 265/70/16's on my 09 TRD OR. I had a vibration at highway speeds, balanced several times by both the tire shop that installed them and Toyota. Finally the tire shop dug a little deeper and pulled one of them under warranty for excessive runout. Other than that, I like them. I dont do much off roading, but I'm happy with their performance when I do. Havent had much snow to play around in, but again, happy with my experience so far. I've had them for ~3-4k miles.

    I'm getting a set put on tomorrow, like you guys I haven't found any real reviews of them online.

    Only reason I'm getting them is the cheap price and convenience of my installer being within walking distance, wasn't planning on swapping tires for another 6 months but a 3 inch screw in my OEM Michelins changed my time table. :)

    I'll try and update after I've put a few thousand miles on em'. Also going 265/70/r17

    Oh, thanks for the reminder, I meant to post when I was over 5K miles on them. I'm at about 3500 miles, I bicycle commute so I haven't piled up the miles yet.

    I love these tires so far, they are louder than my old Michelin's that were on the truck when I bought it, but not overly loud like a serious off road tire. I only notice at speeds between maybe 40-60mph and specific road surfaces, but even then it isn't annoying to me at all, just noticeable. Overall these tires have been perfect, smooth and stable, great at doing long highway miles, no hit to gas mileage or anything like that. I took two good 1K+ road trips this summer and the tires have been great, from highway to gravel to full on dirt trails they have worked flawlessly, I won't be doing any serious off-roading in this truck but that's not what these tires are for anyway.

    I did purchase the extra tire package with my shop just in case they get any balance or alignment issues later on, but so far these things are just about perfect, I think this fall/winter will be the next big test, if they keep me happy through the winter I'll probably get another set when these wear out.

    Thanks for the info, right now I'm in between a set of these or Goodyear Duratrac to replace the BFG Rugged Trail mine came with.

    I ended up buying a set yesterday, they look nice but do seem to have a little more highway noise.

    Duratracs are not loud but they hum at speed.

    I ended up with the Kelly Edge AT which seem to have a little more noise than the BFG Rugged trail.

    On the highway that is, don't really notice a difference driving around town.
