Kelly Safari TSR review

The Kelly Safari TSR is viewed as a budget-oriented all-terrain tire that offers competent off-road traction on loose surfaces but struggles to match the refinement of premium competitors. Users report a harsh ride quality and poor impact damping, suggesting it is best suited for those prioritizing cost over daily driving comfort.

Users report a harsh ride quality and poor impact damping, suggesting it is best suited for those prioritizing cost over daily driving comfort.

Pros

  • Competitive price point compared to premium all-terrain brands
  • Effective tread design for traction on dirt and gravel surfaces

Cons

  • Noticeable road feedback and harsh ride quality over bumps
  • Poor impact damping capabilities
  • Inferior overall performance compared to established premium A/T alternatives

Worth knowing

  • Users operating the tire on full-size trucks like the 2004 Ford F150 report significant cabin feedback and lack of suspension compliance.
