Pizza cutters, mmmm maybe a little bit but honestly mostly in photos. In life, I don't ever think so, but them dudes run'n 14 wide on a -44 offset probably think nuthin but cutters. Lol
I know you already picked your tires, I hope you post photos after they're mounted I'd like to see.
Mine are KM3 which are notoriously small for the advertised size, an outstanding tire though. I ran 35" Mickeys before these. I'm not sure if I'll get 40k miles out of the KM3.
I wanted the 13.5 when I bought 12.5s but for the reasons you guys have already listed plus the additional weight. I cant remember exactly where my setup lands but the 12.5 KM3 was one of the lighter 37" tires especially among the upper echelon tires. I think my wheel tire combo is pushing 115lb per corner and that's just a lot of rotational mass, don't care how many hamsters are turning each one.
The thing that made it the hardest to choose the 12.5 initially was the $150 more per tire cost than the 13.5. And I bought 5. But I'd do it again if they make it to 40k miles, if not I'm with y'all on the TOC. I think cheechdog's TOCs look wider than mine.
How many miles are yall planning/hoping for on the TOC MT?
