These are the 37x12.5x17s. They also make a 37x13.50x17. I had mine road forced balance and they drive nicely.

I'll have them on the trail next month but I expect them to perform well they tread pattern is much more aggressive in person than they appear in photos.

awesome, what size lift are you running? one of my concerns is the actual size, im used to meaty 37" Trail Grapplers, so on this new build im hesitant to go with a less aggressive tire but I know its the smart move as most of my driving is on road.

4" EVO plush ride coils

They appear slightly narrower (maybe 1/2") when compared to my 35x12.5x17 nitto trial grapplers but are just as aggressive. The pattern is misleading in photos the lugs and spacing are about the same size. They are approx 36.5" tall mounted.

I would have gone with 37x13.5x17s but I wanted to a avoid rubbing on my king resi shocks and I saved about 10lbs per tire by going with the 37x12.5x17.

They ride nice too.

how is the acceleration with the RT compared to the trail grapplers since they are lighter? Do they feel heavy or do they offset due to the increased diameter?

I regeared to 5:13 at the same time but I believe the answer is that they feel lighter driving and they handle very well. I had the top off lad tight on the highway and there was no noticeable road noise.

Just concerned that an E-rated tread will feel stiff and heavy. I think these weigh in at 75 lbs (35x12.5/R17). The Toyo MTs feels a bit stiff and heavy but those are maybe 81 lbs or so. These are still heavier than Goodyear MTRs (~68 bs) and I am mainly concerned about a harsh ride and really don't want to run really low PSI to compensate for a harsh ride and heavy steering. I'm good with 28-30 psi on my MTRs. Any thoughts?
