They seem to ride well with very little hum. The install guy mentioned that they did not need as much weight as swampers usually do. On my 5 mile trip on the freeway back to the office the balance seemed smooth. I also think they look really cool with the Army stripes and 5.56mm rounds molded into the sidewalls.

It was a tough decision. Every company makes a 35" tire for 16" rims but very few make 37's that fit a 16. Almost every review I have read on the M16 seemed positive including one where they had almost the same size on an old pick-up that was used for a year as a daily driver (It is a blue pickup that comes up if you google swamper m16). I did pay 4-wheel parts the extra $ for the "all inclusive tire warranty" which includes off road damage as well. If they start cracking or chunking I can return them but I have had good luck with swampers int he past so hopefuly I will never need it!

I have been looking for a long time for 37's for a 16" rim. I thought I had it figured out when I saw a 365/75R16 BFG KM2. But no one has them. Thanks for your input. Please post later with your on-going opinion!

I saw those but I only have 16x8 rims and a 14.5" tire would be too baloonish. If I were to go to the expense of new rims I would jsut go 17" and have tons of choices for 37's.

Looks real nice. Let us know how the tires are after you get some miles on them.
