Man, I wish that I hadn’t just bought new tires…. Not a Nitto fan boy but this is the right tire for me. I like em tall and skinny, but not too aggressive.

Thoughts on this new size?

Considering the 37 12.5 17 nitros weigh 84lbs those 38's are probably closer to 90lbs, way to heavy for my likes. I'd rather run a Milestar or MasterCraft.

Let me run outside and take a quick measurement on my garage door height and I’ll let you know what I think about this new size!

There is an obnoxious, but informative, and opinionated dude with a pony tail that got a set for free. He has a website and YouTube channel. Discussion and pics on his forum.

😆 well I don’t watch much of his channel
so I’ll either wait for other channels to get them or when nitto puts them on their site.

No these are not 38's, but 37x11.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers
Love the tall skinny look to. Was hoping they would work well in snow being a bit skinnier.

How do those do picking up rocks? I looked at these but wanted a 17” wheel.

They don’t pick up many rocks at all from my experience. I think the new 38s should be great, but I wish Ridge Grapplers were just a bit better in the mud.

Hate that there are a few people with these tires but nothing is said on where they were acquired or when they would be available.

Sounds like they are in production but not in distribution yet. I got some Maxxis tires earlier than most by going to Les Schwab and asking about them. They didn’t have the size I wanted in the system so they had to contact their distributor and order the first available set. Maybe try that with them or Discount?

What I need to know is will it fit in my spare tire spot.

I'm guessing no, since I already air down my 37x12.50 Ridge Grappler to get it in there.
