So had some used 37's installed today to try out and make sure I wanted to go 37's. Found some Goodyear MTR Kevlar 37 12.5 17 for $400 off Marketplace. Had them mounted a Discount tire for $149.00 so $550 for 37's. Coming from a 315 70 17 BFG KO2 I've been running for a year, 21,000 miles that was a 11/32 tread. They measured 33.6 when I had them removed. The Goodyear measures 36.2 on my JT at 36psi, I'll probably lower that to around 32 or 30 to soften the ride a little. Can't reset the computer at the moment because something is going on with my Bluetooth vgate OBD adapter for the Jscan so speedo is off by 3-4 mph based on what I could see. Was able to average 17.1 mpgs on the hour ride back which super stoked about should go up when I can get the speedo corrected.
I measured center of my jeep up to Rubi Rails before removing the BFGs and I was at 20-1/4 inches with the Goodyears installed I'm right at 22 inches which I'm super happy about. Gained 1-3/4 inches just by throwing tires on. I'll probably throw the Fox stabilizer back on now because it will probably take some of the road feel out of the steering wheel and I may look at upgrading the track bar now with probably a rough country adjustable like I ran on my JKU. Overall I'm super pleased and thinking 37's forever now although I may end up back with a A/T she these wear out. They are louder than my BFG's which I expected but not to bad. Face still hurts from the hours worth of smiling I did on the way home
