JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Who makes the widest 37" tires? Pics if you have them...

Is it me or is the search button on here useless? I plugged in so many different combos to look up 37 tires and came up with squat, so i'll post up. I have a PHOBIA with skinny tires, I HATE them!!! The wider the better. I have been to Mickey Thompsons site, Toyo's site, Nitto's site and BF Goodrich site. The widest tire I can find in a 37 is a 13.5" tire. I wont go 38", it would be too big for what I'm looking for. I am going with the AEV 4.5" premium and am open to wheel size, I can do 16,17, 18. I am going to go with a 10" wide wheel and no less. I dont want the tire bowed in on a 9" rim. I have done a little research below. Tire Gurus please chime in and give me some feed back. Some pics would be great. These specs were taken from the manufacturers site. These are the widest I could find

Mickey Thompson-

ATZ RADIAL- 37X13.5X18
13.9" WIDE ON A 11" WHEEL OR 12.9" WIDE ON A 10" WHEEL
36.8" DIAMETER WITH A TREADWIDTH OF 10.7" ON THE 11" WHEEL

MTZ RADIAL- 37X12.5X17
13.1" WIDE ON A 10" WHEEL- TREADWIDTH OF 10"
36.9" DIAMETER

BAJA CLAW- 37X13.5X16
13.1" ON A 9" RIM OR 14.1" ON A 10" RIM
36.9" DIAMETER- TREADWIDTH OF 10.8"

TOYO OPEN MUDS- 37X13.5X17
14.6" WIDE ON A 11" RIM OR 13.6" WIDE ON A 10" RIM
37" DIAMETER- NO TREADWIDHT LISTED


I know it seems like im being anal here but Its a real issue for me. It looks like the ATZ OR CLAWS are the widest with a Treadwith of 10.8" and 10.7". I know going 38's would solve my width problem because their are a bunch that are wider but im pushing it at 37's and the 4.5" lift with the wife as it is. I would love to have some input with pics. For the record I have 345/30/19's on a 13" rim on my c6 and I am waiting for them to come out with something wider!

They make 2 different 38x15.50R17 and 3 different 38x15.50R16 radial tires.

(summitracing.com sells Swampers)


Pit Bull makes 37x13.50R17 Rockers

Maxxis makes a bias 37x14.50R15 and a 37x14.50R16 Creepy Crawler

(4x4groupbuy.com sells Swampers, Pit Bull, and Maxxis tires)


Nitto makes a 37x13.50R17 Mud Grappler

(discounttiredirect.com --a supporting vendor here-- sells Nitto and Maxxis tires)


So, you have plenty of options.

As long as you know that the wider tires will wear components quicker, follow the crown and imperfections in the road more, and be harder to balance, then you know what you are in for.
Thanks bro, I forgot about the IROKS in the 37". I will look that up.

I thought of Pit Bull immediately. They have some pretty damn wide tires.
I can't stand wide tires... I think I have the opposite phobia as you.
I'm running 33 x 10.50's right now

Believe me, if it was my rig I would do 38's, its the wife and she's going to be pissed when she sees the 37s. Maybe I can find a smaller 38"
