Burnouts?No, you know about grinding tires round, right?A machine rotates the wheel while a knife scalps the high areas, effectively making the tires round.Those old swampers and any tire that company made was never round, but they got great traction in extreme conditions. So we'd buy the tires, mount then, have them cut round

Hang on...Majic 8 ball says "Probably So" :-\
Anyone ever hear about Federal tires?They have a 37/12.50 R18 selling for just under $300That is outstandingI'd like to know if I'd be out-standing in the cold on a trail somewhere due to tire failure if I used them???
I have found them for sale all the way back to $267 apiece. Even with adding shipping, around $300, that's a deal for a 37" tire.The local guys will sell them to me for $309 installed with a free alignment and free rotation and balance for life. So $1550 for 5 tires balanced and looking pretty. Not bad at all, but they have to order them and are telling me 30 days...
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!

I've seen some lifted diesels up here with them.
Just checked. Duratracs do not come in the 37 12.50/R18 size
My 8k lb truck absolutely hated the km2 35s. They did all sorts of crazy "balance" things. Beads did no good. They just couldn't handle the weight at highway speeds. I sure liked them off road tho.
with the 4.56, you need 37s. Should drop your RPMs at 76 from 2300 to about 2175, which is muy better.You mean $1.91? Where you buying farm fuel for $1.19?
My guess is it was Kroger after he cashed in his rebates for buying all those groceries.....
dunno if I'm late to the party, but I've found this site fairly useful and accurate in regards to gears, tires and RPMshttp://www.grimmjeeper.com/gears.html
I don't have many miles on my set, but i've liked by Cooper ATPs a lot so far... which is like the AT3 but is the Discount Tire exclusiveThe ST MAXX i've heard is a dang good tire... it's more of an AT/MT hybrid... and they do make them in 37s. Maybe something to considerHere's the ST MAXX
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
