    Kelly Tires is an off shoot of Goodyear. They are actually pretty good tires just cheaper because most of the design work was done for a goodyear tire and they toss on a different tread and sidewall. I know this b/c I work in testing for goodyear. Dunlops are good, also check out Fierce Tires they are an off shoot of kelly, same thing (a goodyear under its skin)

    I have a buddy that worked the lt tire production line at Goodyear until a couple of months ago. He would run Kellys one week and Goodyears the next.

    Yes there an off brand by Goodyear.It was molded after the Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs which i have on my truck.Cheaply made tire or not,they do work son:peace:

    Ya want some reviews on them.Ask me.I have driven a jeep and a Chevy that had them on there.One of the joys of belonging to a off-road club.Get plenty of real world experience in different terrain's with different brands of tires.

    You have to rotate them alot because they get choped easly. But they are good in the mud
