Default 35' or 37" tires

Looking to put some 35's on my rig. Since I have a 2 1/2" teraflex spring lift, I thought I would go with 35 Duratrac's. I just saw a good deal on 37" Goodyear MTR/K . What is the actual height of the tire? Should I stick to 35's. I don't plan on putting more lift on the Jeep.

I think mtr's run pretty true to size. 37's too much for 2 1/2" lift imo. Maybe with flat fende

I would avoid it. Had the 37" Kevlars on last Jeep and had to trim pinch seams. The 37" kevlars were a PITA to balance, at least the set I had were.

Thanks for the opinions. Think I'll stick w/ 35's as the largest size to run.

We'll see. You already have the bug and will probably want the 37's in a few wheeling trips. 37's on TF 3". Flatties & trimmed pinch seams. Very happy...
