A couple of my wheels had 9-10 oz of weight on them. Apparently the fella who balanced my tires did not clean off the rims very well. I had to bring one tire back already to have the weights re-balanced due to them falling off. I have a feeling the other tires may do the same. The guys where I bought the tires told me if there is any issues bring them back. Which I plan on doing.
The tires look great! Just waiting for my AEV 3.5 lift to get to my house, hopefully this weekend. I can't wait to get them on being that its been since May 09 when I first bought the jeep that I have been running the stock wheels. I will def post some pics when its finished.

Go for the MTR/K for longevity and good all around performance. The Duratrac excels in snow, but the guys here in CO have been reporting that they don't last long (as in the tread wears down quickly). Of course this probably has to do with rock crawling chewing them up, but I'm afraid your summer heat in TX will eat those alive.

I have had my MTR's for 11 months now. They balanced easily and I have had no issues save one. After one wheeling trip I was getting a wobble in my steering wheel. Had the tires rebalanced and all was good. Either I spun a wheel inside the tire when it was aired down or knocked off a weight). Quick fix and we are good to go.
They have worked really well offroad and on the road they are quieter than the 32" stock mud terrain that was on my jeep when I got it.
Love the tire!

Why did you have to say that... I was always set one 35's but now that they seem to be sold out everywhere and there are 37's there you make me want those... You just had to get my mind on the 37's for selling me yours so cheap. I love and hate you at the same time for that.

Tire rack has 35's too, not sure about the wheel size but think they have them in 17"
Are you not going to run those mtr's I sold you? I saw your buddy had them on his but he order new 37's for his rig.
You will notice a difference on the new mtr/k vs the old mtr because they are almost an 1 1/2" bigger.
