Default Anyone regret going to 37" tires.
I currently have 35" tire set up, and was wondering if anyone who went with the 37" tires regretted the move, and switched back, or wished they could? If you went with 37" tires, and were happy please chime in as well.

I went from 315/70-17 to 37/12.50-17 and the only regret I have is that I didn't do it to start with. I would have saved me some $$$ in the long run.

You bought the wrong vehicle to be worried about gas.

I don't regret mine at all. Actually, I think they look pretty small since the tube fenders went on.

I'm thinking about Jumping up to 37s and tube fenders when I wear out my
35s. I am a little concerned though about the added stresses. How are the stock axles with 37s? And what other issues should I consider?

I considered 37's and decided (with help) to stick with the 35's on my X. I'm leary of the d30 even though I hear it's beefier than previous years...

My 33's are big enough for my daily driver.
