Do you want them for any serious offroad use?
While they may be pretty, most of the sizes listed are too low-profile for that purpose. The obvious exception, the 38/15.5/18 one, still only has a tread depth of 15/32nds of an inch - far less than any other serious off-road tire I know of.

yeah, i was wanting em for off road use. i dont want a small sidewall either. i was hoping theyd come out with a 37x13.5x18. i didnt realize the tread depth was so shallow. oh well, the only other tire i like are the open country mt's but theyre so damn expensive. guess i'll just have to wait till the toyos come down in price. crap.

The Toyo's rock, but there are other options out there. Search the forum and you'll find a few good suggestions in the 37.Quote:

Ken's right. The Toyos seem to be as good as any tire, but the BFG MTs and Cooper STTs are very good, perhaps as good, and generally much cheaper. I couldn't be any happier with my 37" STTs.
