I had the 17" Weld EVO Velocity 8's and 37x12.5x17 Superswamper SSR's and loved the set up! They Rubbed a little at full turn, but I never had an issue with full articulation!
They were very loud, and were a little difficult to balance, but they in my opinion, were the best offroad tire around. The only other tire I would consider would be the IROK Radial.
I push those tires to their limits, and they never let me down. They climed granite rocks at Katemcy Rock, slick rocks at Devils Den, mud bogs at D/D and Hunting leases, tree stump laden fields at Clines ranch and Hunting leases, very soft sands in gulf coast regions, popped way too many beer bottles at every party I attended, and saw thousands and thousands of Hot Texas highways.
Running this size of tire was never an issue with the warranty coverage.
The fact that I wheeled the H2 so hard, was always a concern of the dealership though!
This is just my experience with these tires, I'm sure others have thier own take on these tires.
Good luck on your search for the perfect setup!
