Tons of people running 37” MTs on this forum. I imagine there’d be no significant difference between 2 and 4 doors.

4.10s handle it okay, I’d stick to 35s or at a maximum KO2s on 3.42s if it were me.

I take it that your 8 speed auto is handling the 37" KO2s with no feeling to regear your 4.10s?

Yeah no issues for me. I noticed a slight decrease in power, way less than I expected. It sounds crazy, but I feel like the wider track from the wheel offset actually makes its a little better behaved on the freeway than stock.

True many are running 37s on JLURs but 400 pounds seems like relatively significant difference to me. I know it could be done but seeing how others are fairing gives me more confidence hence why I asked.

I hear you, didn't mean to sound like a dick if I came off that way. Cooper STT Pros are something like 10lbs heavier and .4" larger than the KO2s, I think. I'd feel comfortable running them if M/Ts were important to me.

No worries at all but to be clear I was asking about the 6 speed manual trans not M/T tires

What would the size difference between the 35in sttp pro and a 37in k02? It would be interesting to see them side by side since the sizes differ so much.

Im not sure I understand your question but tiresize.com gives exact specs for basically every tire sold. 37x12.5R17 KO2s are 36.5” in diameter. I don’t think cooper makes STT Pros imperial 35” but the bias 315/70R17 are 34.57” in diameter.

Lucky for you, I've been keeping a spreadsheet on tires, wheels, offset, etc. lol
Per Tire Rack, the 315/70R17 STT Pro is 67 lbs with a 34.6 diameter and the 37" KO2 is 69 lbs (BFG lists it at 69.49 lbs) with a 36.5 diameter.

Thanks I’ll have to look into that tiresize.com. And waiting you’ll have to share that spreadsheet lol. Could some of y’all measure the total height of the Jeep post lift with tire size and everything? I’m trying to keep mine low enough to still park in the garage. Lol

Mine sits just slightly over 6’4” at its highest point, with the hard top.

I just got it so I don't have many pics yet. I installed the Rough Country 2.5 spacer lift last weekend and the tires and wheels came in yesterday!
