Greetings from Utah!

[Jeep Rookie]

Well that's a start at least. Having an end in sight is great. I'm gone for work the week of the 3rd so no chance to get there before the 11th unless it makes a truck and gets there and ready to deliver before Friday

If I get mine on the 1st I'll celebrate the end of Utah prohibition by buying a normal beer at Maverick or something.

37s will barely squeeze in the spare location. 40s won't so I went 37s. between those two tires it is whatever you get the better deal on. I have friends at BFG so I try to run them.

Sounds like you may have a contact at BFG. I called and got a woman that didn't know that their company (Michelin) made KM3s and she simply read the specs off of the sheet that is online that seems erred.
I am interested in the #79851 (37X13.5/R17) vs the #39458 (37X12.5/R17) but I'm not sure I am understanding the specs.
Common knowledge on the 12.5 is...
124Q D rated 3525@50psi 77 lbs revs 569
The 13.5 is...
121Q E rated 3195@75psi 81 lbs revs 554
I'm not a tire expert by any stretch but it seems odd to me that the 13.5 121Q E rated carries less load capacity than the 124Q D rated 12.5.
The revs on the 13.5 is obviously an error assuming it's a 37.
It seems like a nice option assuming it doesnt have a true E rated ride.
Maybe you can get the actual specs from your contacts??? It would be appreciated!
Thanks!

BFG and Michelin have different marketing and development teams. Same owners is the only thing they really share.

I'll ask my guy at BFG.
If it is an error I need the link to where you saw it.

Go jump the fence!

It's an hour south but I have to drive 4 hours west to get it. Sounds ridiculous but the price from the guys in Idaho makes it worth it. Even after tax I'm still way below sticker price

 

[Jeep Rookie]

Agreed! I am avoiding the tax man sorta.
My trade is more than the Jeep so no tax but they are giving me about $3.5k under market on the trade.
Kind of a wash and I dont have to deal with selling our current truck.
