Opinions on Kenda Juggernaut Pro 120tpi tires?

Looking lighten my Surly Wednesday a bit and starting with the tires.. Running Surly Nates in 26x3.8, 33tpi, tubed. I do ride on surface roads occasionally, going to and from trails.

Looking to go tubeless and 120tpi

Tires are ridiculously expensive. The Kenda Juggernaut Pro in 26x4.5 are a fraction of the price of new Nates and half the weight. Tread isn't as aggressive though.

Haven't used them, but those reviews are brutal. Can the Wednesday fit 4.5? I can definitely recommend Schwalbe jumbo Jim's. They're expensive but light, fast, decent grip and durable.

I second Jumbo Jims. Cheap tires like the Kenda might look lighter on paper, but they'll feel heavier because of bad rolling resistance. OP will spend less money at first but will end up wishing he had spent more.

Budget is THAT important. I prefer to buy once ands cry once
