Default BFG A/T 37x12.5x17

Anyone have BFG A/T in a 37"??

Im still trying to decide on new tires. I thought I was sold on the Duratracs in a 35, but im thinking they might look too small. Also, If I am going to re gear with 35's anyways I might as well go bigger now.

I have a 08 Unlimited Rubicon. Currently I have coil spacers, and RR front and rear bumpers but with the new tires I will be getting a 2.5 coil lift. I already have procomp 7069 rims in 17x9, bushwacker flat flares and a RR tire carrier waiting to go on.

According to the BFG site, the A/T in 37's are only 36" tall and weigh only 68lbs. 68 is low even for a 35 tire. If you have these tires, please post up some pics/specs

Thanks!

This is what actually attracted me to them...

I have to keep my JK on road friendly because I drive from NJ to Boston about once a month (approx 500 miles RT). This trip is done with my wife and baby. If it wasnt for that I would prob go 40's since it is not otherwise a DD.

I think the 36" height of the BFG AT will make fitting them under a 2.5 lift and flat fenders easier. The duratracs I was originally looking at were 315/70/17 which only come out to about 34.5 and even less under load. I figure with the BFG I can get a little over 35 under load....

Anyone with pics of bfg 37 or even 35 duratracs with flat fenders and 2.5 lift??
