This is my review of the Kenda Lever M/T
First impressions it looks like a nice gripping mud tire. It's netting here so tonight i put them to the test... they hold to the road like the snow isn't there. Plow right through the slush like it's nothing. I took a few hard turns and they hang in with a tiny pinch of slip then grip like it's not showing or any ice on the ground. Tomorrow there should be ice on the ground from the slush currently out there. Can't wait... i have theses up front with BFG aAll Terrains out back as i only needed fronts the backs still have cleats till i burn them off :popcorn:

3 inches of snow this morning and ice all around. Straight out of The icy alleyway the Kenda Klever M /T rocks big time. It plows through the slush like it's non-existent. Stays straight in the direction you turn the wheel to kinda makes me wish i had some for the back. Stopping distance is the same as if there is no slush on the ground. Totally amazed at the snow, slush, and rain handling.
Next up dry handling, noise, and longevity.

I think those are the tires I almost bought instead of the Mickeys, but my supplier only had 3 in stock and I'm not a patient guy. I read a ton of good reviews on them. Similar tread pattern to the Mickeys for less money and I hear they wear just as good or better. Keep us posted on the wear.

I bought these from First Discount Tire in Garland, Texas for $260 with a 40k mile warranty. Dry cornering is really good. These are not loud mud tires. They have a low hum to them while cruising, on the highway, and when coming to a stop. They had no problem balancing these. These tires ride smooth and any speed with no wobble, sway, shake, or shimmy.

15k into the run now. The tires have more then I'd say about 75% tread left. They have gotten a little noisy, but hey they are mud tires. All is still going good all weather conditions they perform with out a second guess and are very predictable. Good so far.
