Von, I've been running the 37s on my truck now for about 8 months. I don't have any issues with road manners, but then again I am on 6.5" of lift. Compared to the Pro Comp A/Ts, that were balder than my grandfather, that were on the truck, they are just fine for every day driving. Haven't had much experience in the rain as we are still in a pretty good drought here. Snow, they worked okay.

Balancing was a bit of a pain for the shop I took them to. I haven't noticed much in the way of wobble due to balancing though.

As far as wheels go, I scored two sets of 16.5x10" wheels on Craigslist for 100/set. Both sellers thought they were buying wheels that would fit on their K5/K20 axle conversions.

Mine were purchased through Trail Worthy Fab. I originally ordered the MTRs and had issues with them. No driving issues, tire issues. Out of the 5 I received, 4 had either sidewall tears or impact punctures. Andy, from TWF, told me that they had not been pressure tested prior to shipping as they were the first set he had taken in inventory and he shipped them fresh off the truck. Instead of waiting on another good set of MTRs, I opted for the MTs. At 90/tire, they're a great deal.

I hit a median curb at a poorly lit intersection in Denver a few months ago doing about 35mph. Didn't phase them.

Considering the number of uparmored Humvees running these things down range, I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.
