Keep in mind that a lighter tire will have a thinner sidewall, and will be less durable. If this isn't an issue for you, the km2's and mtr's are both good choices.

I know... Sidewall is a concern. How heavy are the 37 toyo m/t? How long will my stock Dana 30 hold up with 37s before it blows up? Lol

I have had 37 toyos on my dana 30 for the last few months and have wheeled it without any protection. Im just careful and try not to do anything dumb. I will be getting sleeves and gussets soon. Toyos 37s are 93 lbs without the weight of a wheel.

I'm currently running the Falken 37's. They have been a great tire, very long wear as I have just under 50K on them. They were a bear to balance though and now as they are getting to the end of their life they are not very quiet or comfortable. I'm looking at the Nitto trail grapplers. they have a nice mud terrain tread. They stats i found have them at almost exactly 37" tall and they weigh in about 65-70lbs for a 37. Anyone else thry or have them?

Love the trail grapplers. However, the 37 trail grapplers are going to run around 85 lbs not including the rim.

Lightest 37 seems to be the KM2s which are around 71lbs
