I have run the KM2 in a 33" tire. When I was going to 37's I talked with several people who wheel here (in Colorado) and on this forum and they talked me out of the MTR/K. They said they had problems with balancing. I was actually pulling the trigger on a set but switched last minute to the Mud Grapplers, and have been happy with them for almost 2 years now. I will keep buying the Mud grapplers till Nitto stops making them...if they ever do! I sometimes feel like a wasted money for buying a spare. I run them at 8 PSI on the trail and have yet to have a problem! I also never had a problem with ware and balancing with my KM2. I really liked them too!

I don't understand this fear of weight on tires. Jeepers are known for putting on heavy bumpers, heavy winches and heavy racks all over their Jeeps. But with tires, there is this big fear of weight on tires. Yes, of course I realize it causes some more wear and tear, but so do all these other items that are put on the Jeep. Most of all however, weight is actually a good thing to have on the lowest possible point on the Jeep, it helps keep all four on the ground. Moreover, having to constantly worry about your sidewalls isn't much fun either. Ask WoL what he thinks about this.

x2: Ah yes...D30s rotating big/heavy mass is indeed asking for trouble.
