Thanks for the info....think I might give it a shot and as soon as I do I will be sure to post some pics and info on it!

Hey guys, been following along here, because I'm in the market for new tires too. I have 315 70 17 BFG AT'S and I've hated them (death wobble) they are finally worn out. I love the look of those 37's but I will never buy another set of tires for this truck unless they are E rated. I think I'm going with the tried and trueToyo 35 12.50 17 MT.

If you don't mind me asking why you won't go with anything except e-rated tires anymore? Were those BFG's you had not E-rated? If not what problems did you have with them? Thanks

I saw these tires today Pro Comp Xtreme MT, and they looked like a good tire for the type of tread they have.
And here is a good price on them throughout this week.
Only $221 per tire for a 315/70/17.

E rated tires are stiffer and usually have max air pressure of 65 lbs. - where as D rated tires have softer side walls and a max pressure of 50 lbs.. I think (as well as many others on this forum do) that this softer side wall on D rated tires is one of the causes of the death wobble. BFG AT'S are D rated.

Just out of curiousity, what e rated tires is everyone running? Plans are for a 5th wheel toyhauler or large gooseneck with custom toyhauler in front and probably 4 atvs in the back...

I really want to do 37's but I didn't even think twice about the towing issue...I don't want to do anything that will harm the towing

What is the reccomendation for a tire with 2" level...e rated

I'm running 35 x 12.5" on mine and not a problem in the rear with stock suspension.... not saying that ALL tires will work but my toyo mt's dont rub the rear leaf's

yeah, I am curious as to what e-rated tires everyone is running also that are 35's or 37's. I want an all-terrain but have seen none that are E-rated in that size Yet the load rating on these larger d-rated tires is way higher than what my stock size e-rated tires were
