I love my toyo mt 37x13.5s . Not too loud on the highway, will last a really long time, and kicks ass on road, in mud, and in snow. Ondly downside is that they are very heavy.

Of those two, the PB rocker will be the best tire offroad but they are soft and will wear quick on the road, friend has them and told me he would be lucky to get 25k miles out of them.

I know you said you want to try so etching different, I can appreciate that, but I love my MTR'S and have not had balancing issues. Had 35's and 37's.

Yeah, the wife wants me to get the MTR's again...I may end up this way, I just like to try out new stuff. If only tires where not so expensive.

I'm in the same boat.. I have 35 inch toyo m/t's now but they are heavy. And if I go 37 toyo it's gonna be even heavier. Im trying to find a light weight 37 that's equivalent to tread life and that's good on road and off road. I've heard the Kevlars are pretty light.
