2nd set of 37x12.5x17's which tire this time?
I currently am running BFG KM2's 37's on my JKU, but I am not the biggest fan of them and dont like that they run so small.
I am consider the Nitto Trails, MTR-K's or Hankook Dynapro MT's...does anyone have any input on any of these 3 tires? I am really leaning towards the Dynapro's, but cant find much info on if they run true to size and an accurate weight on them.
I like the Nitto's look but have concerns with their weight & wear. The MTR's I go back an forth on but I have a pretty good deal for them on the table.
Its a DD, that sees trails, mud & snow in the winter, but no serious rocks.
Any input would be appreciated!

I have the nittos on my diesel and beat them up all the time they are a great tire the sidewall is what makes it better then the km2 in my oppinion wich means there great in the sand which is why chose them because i spend 90 percent of time at the beach. I wil be purchasing nittos for my jk soon. I have 35's and my friend has 37's unlike km2 the size diff is obvious. Weight i would assume them to also be lighter then km2 overall both are good tires but when you factor it all in i chose nittos.

ran the nitto trail grappler m/ts for 15k. they are great and they were well over half tread when I replaced them with the mud grapplers. I would have done the trails again but they dont make a 37x18 only 37x17 my trails were 35s.
Go trails... they are very strong mine took major abuse and no problems with wear or anything else

A friend of mine also recommended the STT's, but I have never been a big Cooper fan myself.
Thanks for the input so far.....
No one with the Hankook's? Everywhere I read really good reviews, but rarely see them on Jeeps.

They are very close to advertised size, lighter then most other 37's and the reviews I have read place them as the top all around tire. Some have had issues with balancing but who doesn't at that size of mt. They are also running an $80 rebate right now.

I love my Nittos also, but they are not even close to being lighter than the KM2. In fact my 35" Trail Grapplers at close to 80lbs each weigh more than a 37" KM2 or MTR/k which are both under 75 lbs according to DTD.

From my research the Nitto trail grapplers have great reviews as well as great tread life with more true to size 37's (only downside might be the weight - being more heavier). If I didn't get such a good deal on my BFG's I would have saved up for the grapplers.

About 2 years ago my son got a new Dodge Ram and put a set of Toyo Open Country M/T on and it just turned over 100,000 miles. Said he was going to try to make the summer before he got another set.
I have the same tires on my 4 Runner and Jeep and couldn't be any happier with them.
