I’ve heard/read good things about the Maxxis Razr MT...
Thanks but I have zero flexibility on USA made, by a USA company.

After a ton of research and agonizing, I pulled the trigger on 37x12.50r17 Mickey Thompson Baja ATZP3 tires. Shopped around and forum sponsor @Discount Tire have a great price and had them so they’ll be here soon. I’ll report back when they are on (and report on any rub with stock setup since a lift is on my Xmas list).

Thank you for the shout out @Bannongmu. We can't wait to see them mounted on your Gladiator.

Midland MXT275 15 watt GMRS radio mounted in my JTR. Got my license a few months ago and had been using 5 watt handhelds. This is a big improvement. Check it out! #jtrspartacus

Not to be rude but not everything overseas is bad. Bet your clothes are usa made too right?
Many of my clothes are made in the USA. Checkout All American clothing. All of my Appliances, many of my tools, etc are USA made. Not saying it’s bad to get things overseas. Just prefer to support American companies, jobs and workers whenever I can and tires are an easy place to do this.

My USA made Mickey Thompson Baja ATZP3 tires in 37x12.50r17 on stock wheels and a Teraflex 1.5” leveling kit up front. Just got it home. Drive ok. Noticeable but not terrible. Love the look and high up/commanding road presence!! Will report back on clearance, rub, ride, etc on my YouTube soon. #JTRSPARTACUS

So, how's it going with the 37s. I have a Rubi LE and when the 33s have run their course I'm considering 35s or 37s with stock Rubi height. Truck looks sweet.

So far, so good - all on road. Too busy with work to get off road anywhere. Hoping to flex it a little this weekend to see if/where it rubs, take some measurements and film some video for YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/JTRSpartacus . Definitely feel the heavier tires and reduced gearing effect but it’s not terrible and it’s a manual transmission so it’s easy enough to pick the lower gear. The tires are a bit louder than the stock Wildpeaks but not offensive. I live in hilly PA and tow a 7x14 ATV trailer so I’ll probably regear in the future but if I lived somewhere flatter and never towed, I think 4.10 gears would be ok. Hopefully have news after this weekend - weather and work/family commitments permitting. Thanks for checking in.

Wow! Over 22,000 views. Thanks for checking in everyone. Let me know if you have questions, ideas, suggestions, or comments. Working with sponsors occasionally but they are distributors /service providers - not manufacturers. I feel it’s important to be honest/transparent about the products so I spend my own money and do most of my own work. The only free manufacturer’s product I got was the set of JPeggz USA mirrors I gave away in a contest. The owner saw the review of the set I bought posted on YouTube and offered a set to me. Thanks again for checking this out and please like and subscribe on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/JTRSpartacus
