Default 37'S.......Which one?????

Going to 37's.....but don't know which one to go with but I think I narrowed it down to a few. Goodyear mtr Kevlar, Toyo Open Country, or Hankook Dynapro MT303.
Which one runs true to size? I wheel only once in a while and my rig see's 80% road/20% off-road and is my daily driver. I currently run BFG KM2's in 35x12.5x16 and love em' but they do run real small.....HELP!

Wow, 30 something views and 1 reply?? Guess everyone has the same question as I do lol! Thanks planman for the input. Is anyone here running the Hankooks? I can get a really great deal on those tires but don't know much about them.
Planman, do the Toyo's run pretty much true to size?

I run the Goodyear mtr's with Kevlar and I like them allot. They are very close to 37" tires, they measure @ 36.5 on my jeep @ 30 psi. I have an unlimited with heavy bumpers and they still yield that height. You can't go wrong with these.

Are you planning on keeping the 16" rims? If so there are not that many choices out there for 37's. I am running 37 13.5 R16's in Super Swamper M-16's. I like the tires, they look great and get good traction in mud and dirt but I have 16x8 wheels and they are too narrow.

They mounted fine but the tire is so wide it balloons out alot (The tread is not flat) and only maybe about 10" of the 13" tread width actually touches the ground. I am running 26 psi. It is funny to see the last 1.5" on each side of the tread that still looks brand new. I am afraid to lower the pressure any more because I was told it would make the on-road steering feel squishy and it will KILL my fuel mileage (More than usual).

Some 15's won't clear your rotors and calipers, so be aware.

I vote MTR's for great ride and on and offroad performance.
