I just put a new set of 37 12.5 X 17 Goodyear MtrK's. They mesure as close to 37" as I have ever seen

I have the nitto trail grapplers mt in 37 - 13.50 and they are big. I think there right on the height. But I could be wrong.

From my reading it's one of the closest tires for true size I believe like 36.8 ..... I bought them that size being mounted and on the jeep come April .. 35" Duratracs on jeep for winters

Nitto's are the biggest running tire I've seen, MTR is pretty close.
