yes another thread on tires, i know your very excited, try to contain your excitement and read on
. just wondering how much more strain a 37 toyo mt will put on my axles compared to a much lighter mtr. i will likely be running them on rubbi 44s with c gussets. i would rather have the toyos but if there is going to be significantly higher risk of breakage with them the mtrs it is.
thanks

There is a mathmatical formula to calculate force given weight and the length of the "lever" and distribution of weight.
That being said, because I do not recall the formula right off, I'd estimate that 37" Toyos close to the same amount of strain as a lighter 40" tire. Maybe the difference is more than my best guess.
My 40x13.50R17 Xterrains weigh 95 lbs each. Toyo 37s weigh 93 or 94 lbs each depending on the wheel size--15, 17, 18, or 20.
The 37x12.50R17 MTR weighs 74 lbs and will put significantly less strain on the drivetrain than a 93-94 lbs Toyo.

You may get ur wish with the toyos by default since the mtrs r backordered for awhile. Some say they have started production but who knows. And I would guess most of the 37s made r already spoken for.
The toyos do look awesome tho. Parked my Toyo 35s next to 37s and I was instantly wanting to go up a size. If they make enough anytime soon tho, I will prob go with the mtr to save my d30 some headaches.
