Only 3 Options for C Load in 37s?

[CarbonSteel]

The first pic was literally just backed out of the garage immediately after install, and my driveway does have some slope to it which may be distorting it.

I was looking at the gap from the top of the tire to the bottom edge of the fender. The dirty shot seems to have dropped down a bit. It looks great!

One of the main reasons that people go with the E range tire on a Jeep is because of the added sidewall strength and the flexibility that they have when aired down. I have seen Jeeps running E rated tires down to 10 psi and from what they say along with BFG is that the E rated tire also has less of a chance of the bead breaking. That was info from BFG when looking a tires for my Raptor and 392XR . The difference between the Ford 315/70/17 vs the Jeep 315/70/17 is in the speed rating.
Just like Ford worked with BFG on the first C rated 315/70/17 they did the same with the 37" tire that is offered on their 37" tire package, so there will be 2 or 3 part numbers for the same size tire in the C range. Jeep, because of the rumored 37" anniversary. Ford for the Raptor 37" tire package and an E rated
The BFG KO2 tires in the 33"35"37" are 1-2 pounds apart

I know I could do the lift before I get the tires, but I would seriously like to do everything at the same time. Everyone pretty much has ridge grappler‘s but those 38 c load are pretty tempting.

I also really like the look of the Cooper SST pros. Does Cooper make an all-terrain in c load?

The Yokohama Geolander MT, Cooper STT Pro, Mickey Thompson Baja MT would all be good choices for aggressive M/T tires. A bit milder (but not much) would be the Mickey Thompson Baja AT. IIRC they are all D load rated but that shouldn't be a deal breaker, as they are all badass tires for sure!

I know I just wonder if I’m gonna get annoyed with them after running these BFGs

May not annoyed but you will feel a difference with tire noise, throwing a rock up etc. It all boiols down to what you plan on doing. Both of my Raptors had BFG KO2`s a set of 35"s from the factory and now 37"

I had BFG KO2`S on 2015 JK and the 2018 JK AND JL

The first 392 RUBICON with 33'''' and 35''BFG`s KO2`s and a 392 Rubicon XR had BFG KO`S 35" and now 37"s

I have other setups depending on what we are attempt to break is......
I have had great luck and bad luck on a few BFG`s that could not get balanced but other than I cant complain. I am from Central Jersey so we get so ice,snow,water,and stupid people on both sides. Jeez you would think by now I`d get a hat after at least people I tell them about,

Seriously you have to think not about just this week where your at and where you plan on being in in life short/long term. I don`t see very many Super Swampers at the mall Street, A/T`s, Hybrid, strip, rock crawling or down the beach check again if you made the right decision

Yeah I hear you! Would love to ride on the SST Pros and and the Ridge Grapplers in C Load.

And what’s really hot out there, is not available out there

You've got the 392, I'd imagine you'll be pretty happy w/ Ds, a little extra beef in the tires to go w/ the extra beef under the hood should work well.
Not really sure why, but there are some tires that are almost exclusively available only in E-rated
295/70/17s are one of those.

Have you ridden the SSTs? I love the look.

FWIW my wife’s JLUR with KO2’s is louder now than my JTR with Falken A/Ts. I think they were even when new, the KO2s pretty smooth. I’ve read the KO2s aren’t great in rain and snow.
There’s no perfect tire.

My 2 JKs and the JL all had the STT Pro on them at one time. Awesome MT tire! It was a beast on the trails. They were heavier, a little louder (and grew as they wore down) and a little harder on the MPGs than the Hybrid ATs. They got a little squirrely on wet pavement but not as bad at the KO2 IMO.

No, might check this epic thread @wibornz and most of his crew, the STTs are all they run, and damn, do they run them!

They are an awesome looking tire, but they were impossible to find 2 months ago. I really like the aggressive look. I even looked into the Nitto Hybrid and that was unavailable too

 

[OffroadCalling77]

Yeah availability for everything sucks. I wish it was like mountain bikes where you could go and test them before you buy them.
