ill prob end up getting 37x12.5 tires but wanted to see if skinnier tires would be more appealing since they are less weight, would be better on gas, and less stress on the axles

Would look better too. Personally way fat, oversized tires look wrong, it is funny to me. I hope to see how it looks with a narrow, more appropriately sized tire. Good luck!

I've been researching 37" tires and came across a couple of pizza cutters in 10-11" widths. Interco makes Swampers in skinny sizes (even the Bogger) and Michelin has a line of military tires called XL or XZL.

I think you will be happy with 12.5 on a 37. Its all about the aspect. 35x12.5 look fat........37x12.5 look skinny. Kinda like a 5' tall 200lb women and a 6' tall 200lb women, one looks skinny.

Edit: skinny = not as big

I'm with you, and I'm sure we're in the minority! But, 12.5's don't look too bad.

I met a guy last year @ The Badlands Offroad Park that had 38.5x11.00 Boggers on his TJ. I thought they looked glorious but the guy said they didn't do as well in the sand as wider ones. He liked to play on the dunes. Me, not so much.

I'd love to have a set of Q78 TSL's for trail duty.
