37" Toyo M/T's. They are a true 37" tire for sure. I may be runnin some 38" Toyos in the not so distant future if someone buys my Carli lift.

I also really like my Cooper STT's. They look great, ride decent for an M/T, and are a little cheaper than the Toyo's. 12,000 miles so far and hardly any wear.

Procomps XAT's and XMT's are a far superior tire to Toyo's...quieter, last longer, etc etc.
I guess that is my and my friends experience on several trucks...

Wow, thxs for all the responses everyone. Now the only tires that I am finding with Toyo that seem like they would work are the Toyo open county M/T. What would the mileage expectancy be with these tires. I do 20,000 miles of driving a year so I need something that is going to last lol. Also, the only size I see is a 37x13.5x17. Is a 13.5 what I really want?

I have the Open Country MT's 37x13.5x17 on offset rims 3.75 and a 6inch sus lift. And I had to trim the bumper a good 4inches.

35x12.5x17 rubbed on the control arms..whoever said 37's might rub are wrong...they DEFINITELY will rub and rip off your fenders lol Unless you get a properly spaced rim.

I guess it depends on your climate too. But here in Canada I was told to avoid running the x terrains. A few ppl told me they were a great tire...but if you used them on a daily vehicle...15k MAX out of them. Super soft...and crappy on wet pavement. And louder than toyos...but thats obvious from appearance...much tighter tread on toyos...

Isn't 3.75 a weird backspacing for these trucks? What would it be like on stock rims?

chill out homegirl...you're wrong on this one. the will DEFINITELY NOT rub on the fenders with 6"s of lift on the stock wheels! the will probably rub on the control arms a little though, like mentioned above. mindee, yours rubbed because of your crazy backspacing on those wheels.

Stock backspacing is like 6.25" on an 8" wide wheel.

the x terrains and the xat's/mt's are completely different tires.

Lmao, thanks for the help guys. I will upgrade the rims later down the road. Should I be concerned at all about rubbing slightly on a control arms? I don't think I should have that problem on a different rim. What kind of backspacing should I look for. Also, what would the best place to be for ordering the 37x13.50x17 toyo mud terrains, and what kind of miles should I expect to see?

you should be looking for a wheel with 5.5 to 6 in backspacing.

ha

I stand corrected. Those MT's look almost exactly like the toyo's

But it will def rub on the control arms Especially with a 13.5 wide tire
