It's time for tires. Currently in 35's on my stock platinum wheels what would be the pros and cons from 37's?

 

37” Pros: Better clearance off-road.

37” Cons: Heavier, will decrease fuel mileage, reduces power to the ground (changes overall gear ratio), harder on steering and suspension components, harder on brakes (more rolling mass), might rub depending on your wheels and if you have a leveling kit or not, less clearance for GN/5th wheel setup, and they are more expensive.

 

So, basically it's not worth it? Lol. I was hoping for a more plush ride possibly. But I don't know if it's worth the cons you've listed!

 

37s will be better for off-roading and look better….and yes they will be slightly more “plush” but not night and day difference.

35s will be better for towing and not look as good…..but better fuel mileage too




if I was towing super heavy all the time I’d go 35s for sure. But for my use I do a lot of unloaded driving and moderate towing weights no more than 100 miles from home.

So my 37s work just fine (for me) and I think on these huge trucks they look great.

if you’re towing 15k lbs across the country I wouldn’t advise running 37s though.

how do you use your truck on a daily basis?

 

I tow a boat and camper a few hundred miles when camping and short runs with the boat but could always be more, both weigh a little over 8k lbs. I guess maybe I should stick with the 295/65r20's..

 

Just ordered 37's for my second set of rims, purely for looks and to bring me back to high school. My normal wheel set I will use for winter, plowing, and if I need to tow heavy.

 

All depends on what engine, gear ratio and suspension mods you have? Bone stock suspension I wouldn’t run 37’s.

 

“Worth it” is all in the eye of the beholder. Just like some people think a diesel is worth it even though they’ve never towed a trailer.

If you are purely going after 37’s because they might offer a more “plush” ride, then I feel you may be let down. If you have stock 20” wheels, then going to 18’s with 35’s will basically be the same as your 20’s with 37’s.
How much air pressure are you running? Lowering the air pressure on an empty truck is the best way to get a better ride…and it’s free!

 

37's Because it's all about looking Cool.

 

I tow often & will be going to 37’s my next set of tires. My truck is either hauling kids to school or groceries to our house. It is also our dedicated road trip & tow apparatus. I am running 35’s now & will be going to 37’s. If I was towing a “large” fifth wheel travel trailer often I would stick with 35’s.

I will either stay with my factory 18” wheels or go to 17” aftermarket wheels. I like having as much sidewall as possible for better ride & off-road performance.

ATC summed up the pros & cons fairly well.

 

There isn't really a tangible gain in "off road performance" either. The is almost nothing that the extra inch of clearance will get you through that the 35's wont. It is purely for looks and comes at a cost to performance.

 

I'm running around 60 in all 4. I have the Carli commuter kit with stock height rear. I guess I should have said that.

 

You hit the nail on the head. We have a travel trailer that's 35' and at some point will trade for a 5th wheel. And always looking at boats! I'm just concerned the 37's may give me issues with the towing. I know I'm keeping my stock 20's just because I like them and just don't want to buy others lol

 

I could care less if it looked better with a bigger tire just if it rode better that is literally the only reason I was considering it. Looks are important but I don't care about 1.5" of tire looks

 

I see your running 60 psi, just lower your air pressure.
