The ridge grappler is a great tire

I can tell you after riding in a Jeep Wrangler with Falken wildpeaks installed that I can't say anything as far as their performance but as far as the sound, the Falkens are definitely louder. I considered a set a few years back until I rode in my buddies with Falkens installed and they aren't loud loud but I could tell they were definitely louder, especially with the windows down, compared to the BFG's. I'm not knocking Falkens though, I've heard good things about them. They are a bit heavier than a BFG as well.

MT’s or AT’s? Apples to oranges.

Tires are one hell of a polarizing topic

that's no lie. What is better, tacos or nachos?

Compared to the stock KM tires on my JKU, the Falken AT3W tires are amazingly quiet. It seems that tire height is rated on unloaded diameter, so when you measure loaded radius, it will be less than half that. My Falkens are 33.1 spec, loaded radius at 50 psi is about 16", Across, tread to tread is close to 33"--hard to measure accurately.

Right, the BFG MTs on my ‘12 JKUR were mud tires and not quiet by any means. I soon replaced them to go bigger with 35” BFG KM2s. Those were loud. Not having really needed full on mud tires, the next set was BFG KO2s which were much quieter.

It adds confusion when folks don’t specify the tire model rather than just its brand name. I’m deciding between the KO2s and ATW3s right now myself. I’m leaning KO2 simply for the lighter weight. I have no complaints with the 5k miles I’ve put on the JTR‘s stock ATW3s.

Steak or chicken quesadillas with guacamole dip in them, and rice & beans on the side. Mmmmmm!!!

Has anyone put the 37 km3 on their stock set up? I have a set. Im still deciding what lift but if I can put them on now I would be happy to do so!

Has anyone run the Pro Comp A/T Sports? I’ve heard not very good things about Pro Comp tires in general, but I’ve read a lot of really good reviews on that tire. They’re fairly light, and way affordable. I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on them.

This got buried, but I’d like to ask the same question

I’m seeking recommendations from forum members who have experience running 37” tires on your DD JT. I am looking at three brands in particular, although I know there are many more out there.

Using Discount Tire Direct as a basis for comparison, they show the following for 37X12.50R17:
Falken Wildpeak AT3W $335 - 83#
Nitto Ridge Grappler $358 - 79#
BF Goodrich T/A KO2 $371 - 70#

What are your thoughts on using any of these tires on your daily driver? Are there other brands that I should be considering? Any opinions are appreciated since you have first hand knowledge of how they perform. Thanks!

I have 37” KO2s and cannot keep them balanced.
