Mud Kings
BFGoodrich makes a generic brand (Medalist) mud tire that has holes for studs. Search ebay for Medalist Mud King tires. You can get 35"s for $150 apiece, not sure about 37"s though. I have them on my truck and I like them so far, they seem to be up to BFGoodrich standards. I dont have studs in them, but I live in Alaska and they do pretty good on snow and ice for a mud tire. I know they arent exactly what you are looking for, but for a 150 bucks a tire you cant go wrong

OK, this is getting ridiculous.
I emailed HANKOOK. They told me the RT03 37x12.50x17 is NOT studable.
I call my local dealer and they tell me its NOT studable.
I call Discount Tire they tell me it IS studable and they are looking at them.
I dont want to order $1200 of tires to find out they are not.

YEEEEHAAAAA. My Hankook tires showed up today. They can be studded. The local tire shop couldnt believe it. I was right all along. I now have a set of 37x12.50x17 studded and sipped snow tires for next year. Now I just need to order some steel wheels.

edit: I did a little searching and couldnt even find a 37" Mastercraft let alone a 37x12.50x17. It looks like the biggest Mastercraft is a 35".
