Daily Tire Recommendations

Hey All,

Need new tires, looking for something in the 37 12.50 15 to beef up the 35 1050's I have. Non mudder/off-roaders.
I have room, rubbing won't be an issue. Any recommendations on the tire itself + where to get the best deal?

Thanks in advance for everyone's input

Maybe a General Grabber AT, or AT/X, Toyo Open Country AT III, Mickey Thompson Baja Boss. But looking for a 37" AT tire that is for a 15" rim is going to be difficult.

Yes not the tread pattern you are looing for. https://www.4wheelparts.com/b/tires-...gories%7Ctires

Maybe it time to get some 16" rims from Summit racing and really open up your choices of tires.

Dang same options when looking for 37x12.50x15 https://www.summitracing.com/search/...-00-x-12-50-15

I'd imagine staying with 35's would keep you in a larger choice of tires to shop for.

33's look plenty big. 35's look too big and 37''s aren't a viable option.

If you want big that doesn't look goofy check out some 33 12.50's .

Yes I hate the look of 35's......to small. Question for ya....do these 35's make my tailgate look big?


I like 33's also, for a stock truck with no more than a add-a leaf on the front.

Truck on the trailer has 6" lift and 35's...38.5's are coming. The 1/2 ton on the ground has 37x12.50x16.5 mil take offs. He got the rims from Summit and paid 50 bucks a tire.

35s are perfect, except when 37s are.

Our local FTE member likes his 66x43x20's just fine.

Ok so there are such things as TOO big a tire. Like the back tires on the red truck. See what I mean? Tires must match IMO.

[QUOTE=77&79F250;20417118]Toyo Open Country AT III,





I upgraded from 17" wheels to 18" on my Chevy, I needed the extra load capacity for my camper.
I bought a set of factory wheels off a 2018 GMC Denali 3500 and Toyo Open Country AT III tires.
They are noisy for an AT tire. They do quite well in the snow.
Due to the road nose they produce I doubt that I would buy a second set or recommend them to a friend.
I have just over 10,000 miles on them and they still look new. They appear to be wearing extremely well.

Rubbing won't be an issue??? What the hell are you driving? Except for the most modern trucks, 37s rub everything that isn't lifted 6" or more....


Anyway, You can't get 37s in a non-off-road tread. At least not that I've ever seen. I think I've seen just about every modern tire offered.

It's very hard to find 37s that fit a 15" or even 16" wheel. 37s become more readily available once you get to a 17" or 20+ wheel diameter. But they are still mostly mud terrain, some of the new "trail" terrain. (1/2 AT & 1/2 MT)

I've found that 35s are usually perfect for everyday use on a large pickup. If it's a half-ton, 31-33 is best. (For actual driving/ truck use)

If you really want tall highway/ all-season tires, you need to get 20" wheels. Modern Trucks come factory with 34-35" rubber. But nothing comes with 37" highway tread. Except for commercial semi tires. And you DONT want those on a pickup....

Footnote:
I have a set of 16x10 chrome steel wheels for sale in 5x5.5" bolt pattern. In Phx, AZ.
