What size TGs? I have a left pull and thought it might have been because of a tweaked C or axle. How strong the left pull varies from time to time too. I've read of a couple cases in different sizes of TGs pulling left and I was pretty set on getting new ones in 37s but if it's the tires, I'm probably going to look at other options.

Yes, Trail grapplers do pull to the left. Kind of annoying, but you get used to it..

I'm running the bfg t/a Baja's and they are great off road but horrible to balance. I have a horrible wobble still around 30mph. Been thinking about changing up my entire wheel and tire set up. Prolly to methods and mtrs

37x12.5 R17 on stock MOABs. Like you said it gets better/worse depending on the road crown and surface type. I run the front right 2lbs lower than the rest and that helps. I'm hoping that maybe when I get wider wheels it might help. If not I will probably go with a different tire next go around but that will likely be 5 or 6 years from now.

I upgraded to 37's just about a year ago and if never go back!

I loved my Goodyear duratracs and only switched to the MTR K's because as mentioned the dura tracks don't come in 37"

I'm very happy with the MTR's

Off-road they really shine when you air down to somewhere in the 7-10 psi range

I was adverse to going that low, but a guy in the local 4wd club convinced me to try it and there was a very noticeable difference in the off-road rock crawling ability as well as the moderate hill climbing improvement

If I wanted old Info I'd do that, I wanted to hear real time updates from current owners. If you don't like my question move on because you obviously have no value to this thread....

I hands down love my Nitto Mud Grapplers 37x13.5x17 tires. If and when I go to 40's, I'll get the same tire.

Nitto Trail Grapplers don't pull to the left. It has to be something else causing that. They're a symmetrical tire, so tracking/pulling only one way doesn't make sense.
I have a set of 37x12.5x17's on my 2014 Rubicon and and absolutely love them. Seems like the perfect all around tire. I'm on an AEV 4.5 lift with AEV Pintlers. It tracks straight as an arrow. I have 2 friends who are on the same tire with no issues at all. One is using a Rock Krawler 3.5 suspension, the other has the same setup as me.
Just my opinion, but it's real world feedback. The Nittos TG's are great!

My Trail Graps also pull to the left slightly. I thought it was just a slightly bent C or something but I guess more people are experiencing this? Regardless, I plan on my next set being Trail Graps! I have been very impressed with the strength and off road performance.
