Default Tire width

What's a good tire width.. I want 37's and like the Terra grapplers.. The only one they offer is a 36.6in tire that is 14inches wide.. Is that to wide?

Is there a better tire out there? Or recommended size?

Is there a better tire out there?? Wow, without knowing what you are trying to achieve in your rig there is a million responses to your question.

IMHO a 14" tire is too wide as a daily driver that will see snow. Being in NJ and getting snow, that would be a negative for me unless this is a trail/part time ride for you. A little more info may help you get a little more helpful input.

Well I want an all terrain tire for my 4in lift.. I like the look and feel of the Terra grapplers and want a good on road tire.. I really don't go off road to much unless it's to go hunting.. I have a 12.80in wide tire right now and I feel like that's a bit wide so I figured 14in was way to much.. 37x12.50/18 will be perfect I assume...? What's a good brand that offers 37's in that size.. I'm having no luck looking for 37's and I dint know many brands other than nitto and they don't offer 37's in a decent size.. Would probly consider a not to agressive mud tire as well..

BFG KM2 37X12.5X18... hard pressed not to think these wouldn't work but in a few minutes of google and searching there are several companies that make a tire that fit the dimensions you are looking for. Just google those dimensions and watch what pops up! Happy shopping and post pics when you get them.
