kelly Safari TSR review!!

I just got some 315/70/17 kelly safari TSR's, i paid $870 total including install from treadepot, so far they are amazing especially because they are much cheaper than many other tires that dont look as good, they ride and and handle better than the set of procomp extreme all terrains and are less noisy, and the pictures don't do the tire justice as to how aggressive they actually are, i hope this helps if someone is interested in these tires.

Great to hear more good things about these tires. These are my next tires when I get some more money saved up. What type of setup do you have on your truck? Wheel specs? More pics would be great, I'm looking to buy the same size tires!

Not really a review since you have no real world expirience and information to provide with them. Get some miles on them then write a review on how they do.

a buddy of mine has a set of these on a 06 dodge 2500 4x4, they get pretty noisy after a while.

so far with the tires I have about 8,000 miles on them and i love them so far, they do great in the sand and mud, the do better than the procomp extreme A/T did, and as far as road noise they are quieter than the procomps also, the tread still looks about the same as when they were new and it is a great tire for the price, if i could complain about anything is that during extremely rainy conditions they arent as firm on the pavement as the procomps but this may be due to them being larger. i hope this helps someone in there tire choice, i would definetly recomend them to someone

I got my TSRs last December. I have driven in rain, mud snow and ice with no issue. This included a 7 hour ride the day after Christmas in as much as 9" of snow. Tires never missed a beat. Now have about 25000 miles and tire still look good. If they keep wearing like they have, I will get at least 50000 miles.

Oh yeah. DTS nice wheels.

I have about 5k on my 275/70/18s on my King Ranch wheels on my diesel. They handle great, look great, and are very quiet. I have ran a ton of different tires and These I like in the top 5 for sure. I have a customer running them on his 05 F150 in a 275/65/18 and he has right at 20k on them with 10/32 left. they should go 50k easy. And they are still quiet and wearing great. great tires.

Reviving an old thread. I currently have 61000 miles on the TSRs. The rears still have probably another 10K at least left. Front have worn on inside, so they are pretty much shot. I am currently rebuilding the suspension, new trailing arms, shocks, track bar bushings, sway bar bushings, tie rods, and possibly lower ball joints. Once done I will be getting another set of TSRs.
