How long have you been running your toyos man and also if you had it to do over again would you have picked another tire?

the km2's don't run true. If you want as close to the true tire size go with 37 mud grapplers or 37 mtr's. Just my .2

How do you clear a 14.5 wide tire? I have 13.5 tires and 1.5wheel spacers and I barely rub my swaybar disco holder (at full turn and full flex when disconnected). If I go wider I think I'd rub pretty good. Any pic's? Or how you do this?

I have 2.27 net bs lol. I rub the rear of my front wheel openings at full lock and flexed, but as soon as I adjust my steering stops that won't happen either.

I eat wheel bearings though lol.

i dont think the 37 km2 is gonna be any easier on the d30 than the 35 toyos will be.

The extra leverage from being an inch taller counts for something though.

Just run 37" toyos
