Curious if these measure taller than the 37" BFG KO2 that really are about 35" mounted.

Mickey Thompsons spec sheet shows a weight of 70 lbs. My spec sheet shows 69lbs. Reasonable to say that 70lbs seems pretty accurate.

There is limited stock available that I can order for you.

According to tire size.com
Baja-Proven tread style with a large surface tread area combined with wide voids for an aggressive appearance and great on/off-road performance. Silica-reinforced compound and light-weight body plies give this tire excellent performance, durability, and long lasting tread wear. The Baja Legend EXP is a superb design with optimized geometry for low road noise and a smooth ride.

The 37X12.50R17 Mickey Thompson Baja Legend EXP has a diameter of 36.4", a width of 13.1", mounts on a 17" rim and has 571 revolutions per mile. It weighs 70 lbs, has a max load of 3525 lbs, a maximum air pressure of 50 psi, a tread depth of 18.5/32" and should be used on a rim width of 8.5-11".

I noticed the other day my xcomp 37's were exactly 35" tall when on my truck. My buddies Raptor has 37's also, pretty much same measurement.

FYI...Trailbuiltoffroad.com is great for getting tire dimensions..you have to scroll down and tells you height, weight, etc.....

So what you're saying is all 37's will measure 35?

I cannot "speak" about ALL 37's, just the 2 that I have personally measured myself, NOT he said, she said.

Think about this, NO tire is exactly its stated size, they are ALL small=er than their advertised size (ripoff!!!) so take a typical 37" tire, it measure like 36.5".......now put them on a 5K lb Jeep and the tires (from the weight) are a little less taller, like 35"

Yeah the BFG KO2's we put on my wife's Wrangler are right at 35" mounted. I was looking for something bigger without getting into the 80lb range.

Im looking at these tires....... the Nitto Ridge Grappler 38x12.5r17 are 81 lbs

(My 37x13.5r17 x comps are 85lbs)

I've been rolling on 33s of them for about 1000 miles now after being a BFG guy for over 2 decades. They replaced the factory Falkon MTs. I love them and yes for E rated tires they are lighter than most other brands across all sizes when I looked at spec sheets as that was something I was paying attention to as well. On road behavior is great and very quiet. While I haven't gotten them out in the sticky mud yet, for an AT I like the more open lug pattern and expect them to clear out gunk better.

This is standard fare for tires under the weight of vehicles. The whole BFG thing is old news and needs to die off. I don't run BFG's and never have so not fan boy supporting. If you shop tires and look to the diameter specs those numbers are unmounted, most 37's come in around 36.5 area in this state, then less when under a rig.

If i measure my metric 35's under my rig they're closer to 33, and even less when aired down.

I had a set of these on my Raptor for a few thousand miles before I traded it in. They were shockingly smooth and quiet on the road and ate mud really well. Never got to try them in the snow or on icy roads. My only complaint was that the 315/70/17 was D rated and they rode stiff off road (even at 20 PSI). I thought about them again when I put 35s on my Mojave but went with C rated BFGs instead. I wish there were better C rated choices in 315/70/17 and 35/12.5/17.

How are they doing?

How are they doing?

Well, I put 25K on them in my 2022 before I turned it in. I'm on 12K right now in my 2024. They've been fantastic on the road and light trails. On the road they track very well and are low noise. On the trail I've never had any traction challenges but to be fair haven't really gotten into anything crazy. I do feel like the more open lug patter clears Georgia mud better than BFGs that I ran on for years. They've also balanced and aligned well. Only data point I am lacking is longevity.
