Default Re: Best 37" tire?

i have 37 inch BFG KM2 M/T tires

bought them with about 4k miles on them, and have put over 30k miles on them so far and still over half tread life left on them.

they are great on the road, just a little noise from them.
in a MN winter, they do suck. they are great on fresh snow tho.


when i do need new tires, i would prolly buy the KM2s again, or switch over to the Toyo ones.
the trail grapplers arent bad looking tho, but not really aggressive looking

i have the trail grapplers now. their a great tire all around. im just curious about the life of them being as sticky as they are. plus as large and deep as the tire patches are, they have horrbile response when turning at any speedscompared to the BFG TA KO's.

Default Re: Best 37" tire?

Heres my options for tires in a 37x12.50R17. cheapest to most expensive....
Yokohama Geolander M/T $277
BF Goodrich TA KO $291
Cooper STT $298 + $75 rebate
Falken Wild Peak A/T $307
Hankook Dyna Pro MT $311
Nitto Trail Grappler MT $313
BF Goodrich MT KM2 $315
Goodyear Wrangler MT/R $347

In a 37x13/5R17....as long as i can run a 13.5 wide.....heres my options
Toyo Open Country MT $311
Interco SS-M16 $336
Dick Cepek FCII $408


if i cant run a 13.5 wide im kinda thinking the Toyo Open country......if i cant, the tire im liking the best in the 12.50 is the Cooper discoverer or possibly sticking with the Nitto Trail Grappler.
any thoughts?

after reviewing all these tires. the cooper actually has the most tread depthat 23/32 and is the tallest at 36.9" inflated. the next best is the Nitto at 21/32 tread and 36.85" inflated. just so happens those 2 are some of the cheapest also.
