Those are the tires I run exactly. They are very nice I think. Two tires took zero weight to balance and only a slight index and the others all took under an ounce. They are heavy relative to many other tires thou just like the toyo sister tires. So 70+ pounds sounds about right. They are heavy sidewall ply tires so ripping a sidewall shouldnt be an issue, they are E load rating so I run at 28 pounds of air in them fully loaded, with bumpers, skids, rack, rails, spare, tools, compressor, etc. They measure out at 34 inches measure off the ground under that load and psi. They also are relatively quiet.

I am sure that is right, maybe a little bit heavy. My goodyear 37s were around 75 per tire I think and my buddies 37 nitto is much heavier. a 35 with that weight and going to a pr44 would be completely unnecessary and a TOTAL waste of money.

Tire weight will damage your axle and so will width, not saying this amount of weight will but in general. Your housing most likely will never get damage. Ball joints, u joints, and axle shafts will go before anything else. If worried buy gussets and swap those parts out.

They run very true to size, at least in 37's and they balance very easy.

I ran 37 goodyear kevlar and wheeled with it a handful of times before selling them. I am on 40's now. Still have a dana 30 up front. No I wont offroad it but as a pavement princess while I build my 60 it is fine. Like I said above only problems ive had are ball joints. These will go way before anything else. I would not hesitate to run a 40 on a build dana 44. Wouldnt even think twice about running 37s on my 30 again. 35's.... Youre fine... If youre that worried build the axle up a bit.

If your feeling strain from a 35 man up. Try doing a 107lb 40 on a 40lb steel wheel.

I'm sure there are battles on here about this. The Jeep is sitting on the tires, not hold them up.

You will not need a pr44 to run those tires. I run them in 35's on a D30 with no problems. Much of this depends on how you drive/abuse it off road. Definitely have some gussets welded on either way

It is not sitting on them - you're sitting on them. The Jeep has to do all the hard work and push them - you just push the gas pedal
