Nice looking tire. I've never heard of Kelly Tire. IMO, I would just get the General Grabbers. I like the tread pattern and they have good ratings/reviews. Get the sure thing!

Kelly tires have been around for a long time.

i like my general grabbers uhp's. i'll be buying another set here soon just to have as a spare. kelly tires have been around a long time. i have never owned a set but have always seen them on other cars and trucks and was never moved to say wow nice tire. of course general never made me say that either till the uhp's came out.

best part of my tires is i got them for just over 400 bucks. paid 50 for shipping and mounted and balanced for another 50. so 500 or so and they were on.

I like my Toyo Proxes S/Ts 275/60/16 they were $446 shipped and i mounted and balanced them myself.. they are holding up pretty good, rear tires have about 15k miles on them and almost in need of some new ones..... the front ones also have 15k miles on them and they look new..
except they are nail magnets for me.
I just plugged both my back tires, driver side and a roofing tack in it, and passenger side had 2- 1.5" "brads" i guess thats what you call them..

fixin to order some more....

That Fierce tire is pretty cool looking. As mentioned above, Kelly tires have been around for a long time. Kinda gotta wonder why they're so cheap though...if they're comparable to Toyo's and the others that cost twice as much (as far as performance, traction, longevity, etc.), then that's a pretty nice find for the price.
