Does anyone know of any 38x12.50R17 tires? Do they exist? Or even 38x13.50R17?

Can't find many reviews on those, how's the road noise?

Haven’t put them on yet no lift. The guys driving above Jeep said they were great. I also see skyjacker is now running their 40’s however they are not yet available as far as I can tell. Interesting data tho there web site states they only weight .5 lbs more then the 38’s.

Also my shipping weight says they only weigh 74lbs. Winner!!!

Anyway you could measure them and report back? Curious of the actual height of the tire once its mounted on the vehicle. Thank you!

In addition to the Miletsar Goodyear has a 38x14.5 inch MTR for 17 inch wheels. It is a great tire but it is not skinny - I wanted to mention that since you asked about 12.5 inch wide tires.

The only two other options that I am aware of are the dioscontinued Yokohama and the Falken competition tires. I think the Falken are 38x13.5R17 but they are a sticky compound and would not last that long ona street driven rig.

Any updates no how these worked out for you? Road noise? Ride comfort? Measured size once mounted and under load?

Still in process of installing lift. Stock shocks won’t work with 3.5 RK x-factor. So I have to order them but selection is limited. Has of right now no clearance issues left or right. Putting the rear in today.

Toyo has a 38x13.50. I mounted one to verify clearance prior to going with 37’s. Here is the 38. The overall difference in height was slightly less than an inch when compared to a 37 of the same brand and width.

How did you handle your spare tire on the back with the bigger tire.

I have not. I will wait til someone comes out with a bumper and tires carrier I like, then I will upgrade. It is going to be hard to lift that tire and wheel that high by yourself.
