Default 37's MTR VS Trail VS DynaPro

Looking for a little help, I have 35's MTR currently that I just sold and looking to move to 37's. Just trying to get opinion on the 37's MTR, Hankook Dyna, Nitto Trail Grapplers, price difference is within $50.00 of one another.

You are about to get at least 3 drastically different opinions and several other ones that throw in different tire options.

In short, they are all fine. All 3 will perform great off road with the Hankook and Nittos maybe doing a tiny bit better on road. But I would get what is cheapest or the one you like the look of best.

Haven't heard much about the Dyna's, but FourWheeler ranked them number one I think in their mud tire shootout of 37s. I thought about them, but couldn't find much insight from people who had used them.

I personally just went with 37" MTR. Mine balanced fine, but I'm not 100% certain I made the right choice. I have a 2 mile commute and wanted max traction for my specific off-road purposes. If my situation were any different, I would have gone with the Nitto's.

The MTRs appear to have improved a little in terms of balancing, but people are still having issues. If the Nitto's will do what you need them to do off-road, I'd go with those. Just make sure to get the correct load range (but I think the 37s only come in D?).

I have 37" MTR's. I love how they perform offroad. I air down to around 10 psi and the traction in the rocks is awesome. But.... They were a nightmare to balance and I get nervous every time I rotate my tires that a bad one will end up on the front. A friend of mine spent a few hours and whole lot of balancing weights to get them right.

Just my experience with these tires. Not everyone's I guess. Good luck with your choice.

Running Nitto's and really like the tire. Smooth and fairly quite for a MT. Traction is fantastic on or off road.

Look very nice.

Haha, too funny. I have 1000 miles on mine and they balanced great, but I am afraid to rotate them now. Damned if I do and damned if I don't...

I paid $1820 for 5 MTR/k mounted and balanced. But they couldn't balance the last one so I have to go somewhere else and try to have it balanced.
