Has anyone seen these tires before. i need some new tires and want to stay with the a/t because of the tread life. but i think these tires may be a little more aggressive than my stock 35bfg. These tires come 35/12.50/17 and 37".........any thoughts?

Why get rid of the BFG for those fugly tires? Stick with your stock ones till you need new tires. That makes the most sense to me.

after this past weekend I will second Phil's opinion: Given the right circumstances even the 35's can rub. 37s without a lift kit just don't make sense. At least I have one less upgrade too think about now
Then again I don't really have a garage issue. Hmmm, should I go 2", 4", or 6"

Nice looking tire, but I (partially) agree with PhilD. The BFG's have excellent tread life. I switched to the BFG 37 x 12.5 x 17 after a week (about a year ago) and have had no problems with rubbing, but that extra 1/2" inside may make a difference. Also, after driving an H1 for a few years, I am admittedly one of those wimps who hardly ever takes his H2 into extreme conditions, so I cannot comment on how the 37 x 15.50's do in those circumstances. My "off roading" is more "off pavement" :-( LOL. Personally, I think the 37 x 12.50's fill the wheel well opening better, but this is from the purely cosmetic angle. All I got for my trouble was a "better" (IMHO) appearance and worse performance... :-( Guess why that's why there's so much chatter on performance mods...

Phil:
I went with the AT/KO's to retain the "looks stock" appearance. Had MT's on my H1 and loved them, but didn't keep it long enough to try the (then) new MT's.
I've not used my H2 under conditions even approaching something to cause extreme articulation, but I'd think that if your 35's rub, the 37's would do so sooner... :-\
Hope this helps!
