+1 on the Nitto Trail Grapplers.
They ride nice on the street, dont make a lot of noise and they dig in when it gets muddy.

If I stay with 35's I will keep getting the Kevlars.
If I go 37 I will look elsewhere.
The 37's on my diesel were horrible.
Always wobbled no matter what I tried

It confused me cause it said 37's on a 17 inch wheel. Thought you meant mounted..

Most reports that I've seen put them in the 85-87lb range. 95lb seems pretty high.

I keep bouncing back and forth between km2’s and tg's. I've had two sets of km2’s - might have to give the tg's a shot.

I don't know why but I do not like the way mtr's look. They have a very round profile where tg's have a very squared off look. I kinda like then flat read and sharper shoulder I guess.

You're confusing the nittos with the toyos.

We're not talking about mounted weight.

I have both set of tires right now....the nittos are a heavy tire. The MT/R's are slightly lighter. No issues with balance on the MT/R's. I got them from discount tire and they mounted on rims.
Same with the nittos. The Nittos do have a slight vibration around 44mph though.
