Question OFFICIAL 37inch TIRE BREAKAGE THREAD!!!

Hey Dudes,

I'm going with 37's...it's official. I wanted to ask all of those currently running 37's if they've had any breakage due to the 37's and how they did it?

Sounds good Tex. Anyone else out there break anything because of their 37's yet? Just trying to figure out if the magazines and the manufactures are feeding us BS to make us buy more stuff!

Cool keep us updated...it seems like your doing some pretty hard core rock crawling too, so it's a good test of what the 44's can handle with the 37's on.

Thanks man

it really depends on how you wheel and if your running the stock axle.

if you whell hard and keep the flimsy front you may pay for it unless you swap it out

I've said this in some other threads but I'll put my .02 in again.

I wheel mine every weekend, I drive it anywhere I can get it. I always have it in the back of my mine thats it's a D30, I did do 5.13's and an ARB air locker but thats all.

I know it will give out sooner or later and I'm ready for it, I'll be installing the Rock Jock 60's and I don't think I'll have any issuses after that. So until that day I'll see you on the trail with my D30

Here's a couple of poser shots. Everyone love photos...
