37’s... Anyone crazy enough?

Maxxis sells 37x12.5R16s......

 

Unfortunately I have brand new wheels that I can't return. So I'm trying to make them work. Didn't do enough research to see how difficult 37's on a 16" wheel would be. Lesson learned....

 

I dig the 16 inch wheels. I went 315/75r16 on mine, and it's plenty meaty. Are you dead set on the 37's?

 

No, not dead set. It seems like a few years ago there were more 36" & 37" options for 16" wheels. But options have dwindled, and now I'm looking at around $1800 for 37's. Thought I got lucky when these popped up https://www.tireswheelsdirect.com/product/falken-wildpeak-a-t-325-80-16/ and were able to be added to a cart. But chatted with CS and of course Out of Stock. Contacted Cooper about these: http://www.rims4less.com/proddetail...=7&PHPSESSID=4221f336905073d33e8a043e899c00d1 not in production since 2011.....

So I'll probably stick with 35's. Unless I stumble upon deal.

 

You want a 37" AT?

 

Ideally no. But I think those would have worked for me. But odds are I'll be on my M/T 35's for this upcoming season.

 

I second this^^ Less cutting and rubbing and beating involved too. Looks nice n beefy still, and I didn't lose anything in offroading ability.

 

I'm probably one of those people that don't need them, but don't want to be in a situation where I wish I had them, and don't. I've done most of the local stuff with 35's so I get where you are coming from.

 

So like I said earlier, why not go with Maxxis? You can get treps or crawlers in the size you want..

 

While I 100% understand you have to "Pay to Play" I'm still trying to keep costs down as much as possible. And at the moment I'm balking at $2k for tires. I know many are more than fine with that cost, but since I have another two months before I swap my wheels I'd like to see if I can find a lower cost option. If not, selling my 33's and 35's will still help with the costs if I go Maxxis (but if those Falken WildPeak A/T at $323 per had been available I'd be able to completely pay for the tires selling my old sets). Also now looking at 2 Interco IROK's.

 

Nailed it. I will say that treps and creepys are the best tires I have ran offroad EVER and they seem ok onroad but also comes with difficulties in balancing, LOUD, flat spot from sitting etc. I will probably never bother with 37s until I decide to SAS

 

I didn't mind my treps, but I had them on some 16" diy beadlocks and the combo weighed to much for my liking. Ended up switching to aluminum beadlocks and 37 tsl and saving right around 30lb a corner.

 

So I’ll no longer be able to post in this thread….. Found some 36x12.50 16’s for just under $400 per corner. I was aiming for 37’s but these will still be an upgrade/taller tire. And the price point was just right. Super Swamper TSL Radial’s - SAM-89R. Can’t wait to swap them on!

 

Tried my 37s on today.
Was able to roll in and out of the garage but that's about it.
Can't really turn yet.

 

lulz

 

Yay 37s

 

Dems skinny. What width?

 

12.5
