I'll add a little more. These are as quiet a tire as I've ever seen on the road. I siped the larger lugs on mine, but snow season is about over so I'm curious as to how they'll do in the snow. They're very sticky on the rocks and do well in the sand as well.

Love them 37's, yeah they are thick. The tire mounter broke when trying to mount to my rim. The guys were a little upset, but they got them figured out. Rode like a tank at 46psi dropped to 23psi not to bad.Suppose to be superior to its competition I will let you know in a few weeks

I know the feeling, I don't really like the extra weight but if you wheel the extra sidewall strength is nice to have.

PM replied.... days ago actually. Thanks for the message.


We also field tested a set of 37's in Moab last week. Took them through everything we could find, hard rock, dirt, sand, mud and almost 1000 miles of highway. They did so well I think at one point I think they were laughing at us... Here's some pictures.

What tire pressure were you running on and off road? The place that mounted mine had them at 46psi, I dropped them to 23psi and they still have a little crown to them.

Offroad we ran 14psi in the front and 13psi in the rear. On road we ran 34psi front and rear. 46psi is way too much for your JK. It won't hurt it but I'm sure you could tell they'd feel hard as rocks at that pressure.
