37" MTR vs. BFG
I was wondering if anyone (and I'm sure there are plenty) was running 37" MTR's? I have 37" BFG km2's and they measure 35.5 when there siting on my jeep. I was wanting a bigger tire a I was told the MTR's measure true to there advertised size. I was hoping someone could please measure a MTR mounted on there jeep!

MTR's don't measure true to their size, unless the 37" is somehow different from a 35" in that regard. My 35's (315/75/16x8.5) are set to 33.75" in Superchips, and it's 99.89% accurate according to Garmin GPS. I doubt you can find any tire that measures true to their size.

Thanks everyone! I would love some 40" BFG's but there's no way it's going to happen at 800.00 a tire. I was thinking Goodyear 37's would be the way to go for a bigger tire without breaking the bank, I'm not sure if it's worth the $ if I'm only going to gain an inch......

The 40's are about $7.00 more per tire.
