time for new 35 or 37" tires, need experianced opinions
08 unlimited with 5:13 gears and 3.5 lift, drag link flip, bushwacker flats.
currently running 35-1250-17 pro comp at xt and one tire has always given me a steering wobble when mounted on the front, at about 45mph?
I do not run this thing hard and would like to go to 37"
tires I am considering.
1. Toyo open country MT 35 or 37 great price at Belle.
2. Good year Dura track 315-70-17 is this smaller than my current 35" tires
3. good year MTR in a 35 or 37" from what I have read the MTR 37 is not as heavy as some others it this matters or not?
98% on road, so noise and ride are a priority along with good wear.
thanks

Toyo and nitto are great tires but heavy. Mtr can have balancing issues but are lighter. KM2 wear the best from the sets I have had and ride the smoothest/quietest, but they are not even 36". I have ran all the tires you list except the toyo, plus MT MTZ.

I had 33" GY MTR W/Kevlars, went to Nitto trail grapplers....BIG difference....Nittos are ALOT quieter on the road, a little heavier but an awesome tire....I did have balancing problems with the GY's...12 oz on 3 of the 4 tires on axles when I rotated & balanced them. Nittos are awesome offroad as well. I can listen to my radio at half volume cause I don't hear my tires like I did with GY's. Your choice, but I went with and happier with Nittos! Happy Jeepin' Bro!

I have 37" KM2s, they are a bit smaller then a true 37, but after 30,000+ miles they are still balanced well, wore even, and very quiet. THey have about half tread left and perform well off road. Hope this helps.

I have the 37 inch Toyo Open Country MT's on mine and so far they are working great. I have only had them on about 5000 miles but so far they are quiet, wearing properly and work great off road. I can be doing 75 with the windows down and I have to turn up the radio to drown out the wind, not the tires. I would definitely recomend them.
