Default Mastercraft Courser MXT 37x12.50x17 actual size?

I am thinking about purchasing these Mastercraft Courser MXT 37x12.50x17
They look good, great reviews, great price.


I am aware that they are very light (73lbs)
36.69 advertised height
How tall do they actually sit mounted on your jeep or mounted?


Thanks

The MXT's are close to the OD measurement when mounted. I have the 275/70R18's which have an OD of 33.31". Installed, they measured at right around 32.5. I've got another buddy with them on his rig and the 35's he has also measured less than an inch lost from the OD quoted when installed. I suspect the 37's will follow suit.

A side note, i'm pushing over 25K miles on mine, and they are barely showing any wear what so ever. They are a great tire. I did a detailed write up on them if you search for it. Great off road in all conditions as well.

My 37s measured at about 36.2. I have only had them for about 2k miles and like them so far. For the price you cannot beat them. You could by two sets of 5 for about the price of 1 set of 5 from another company. Check out Tires4less.com Nobody around me could touch their prices, plus it's free shipping and no tax.

I'd love to see some pictures of those 37's. I'm already plotting for next year when I wear these out i've got. Can't decide between 35's and 37's.

I know it's a different size, but run the MXT in 35x12.5-20 and really like them

I've been looking at these as well. Cheap and it seems they wear well. And with the light weight. I think 37s are going on even with the 30 up front

Mine measure out 36.25" mounted on a 17x9. Cost $1560 for 5- 37/12.50-17 from tread depot.com delivered. Nice looking tires.

I get 35.5" when measuring from ground to top of tire. They ride nice and hardly hear them when rolling down the road.

Courser 37x12.50x17 compared to 37x12.50x17 Pitbull Rockers. The Rockers are true to size the Coursers came in at under 36" and less then 12" wide. Non the less a nice tire, especially at its price point.
