Is that just one side of the scales? All large corporations funnel money to politicians. Anyway, I’ve never had good luck with Goodyear tires so that’s why I didn’t go with them.
Publicly they def pushed on one side of those scales.

I just put on the Yokohama geolander mt g003 37/12.5x17, it was on of the lightest tire I could find. It’s pretty quiet too

I had 37x12.50x20 Toyo Open Country M/T's on 20-inch XD rims on my last Jeep, and I have 37x12.50x17 BFG KM3 M/T's on 17-inch Black Rhinos on my Gladiator now. Admittedly this is not an accurate comparison, but the BFG set up is NOTICEABLY lighter. I wanted the Toyo M/T's on the Gladiator, but they were on indefinite backorder. My tire dealer had the KM3's in stock in the 37's, so I bought them instead. Not sure about the lifespan since I only have a few thousand miles on them. But I religiously rotate my M/T's every 5K miles. So far, they've been great.

Are those the Black Rhino Overland wheels with the -18 offset? Mind posting a head on picture? I am trying figure out what offset to go with. Thanks!

Yes they are. They stick out just a little bit more than I wanted, but I've learned to live with it. I really like the wheels.

This is the only head on shot I have right now:

Another from an angle, if that helps:

I’m thinking I may try Goodyear MTR’s 37/12.5 r17’s are 75lbs each I had 265/70r17’s on my ram 2500 and loved them.
You. Cannot. Find them. I’ve had a great Goodyear discount code for a year. Can’t find them in stock.

Do you have a lift/spacers? I'm leaning towards 37" KM3s since they tend to run closer to 35" mounted and under load.

I have the 2-inch Mopar lift. Plenty of clearance on a Rubicon for 37's. But I'm considering adding a front spacer to level it out when I tear the front end down to install upgraded ball joints. You're correct, the BFG's do run smaller.
