37s without regear

[SeaSickSailor]

Sorry. That last post was supposed to include Breaker Alex’s quote. Thanks.

What would you, or anyone else, recommend for wheel spacers to eliminate all rubbing? Plus I’m curious to know if 37s cause any limitations on articulations?

I'm curious about spacers as well. Would 1.5" be good? Will they cause rubbing in the fender?

As far as I know, 37" did not cause any limitations except for the slight rubbing on control arm at full turn. I can still turn but you can hear the rubbing ( not fun when there are people around )

Well, I think that I’ll have whichever tire shop I go to have an opportunity to exhibit their customer service and try different options on tires, wheels, and spacers until I find the correct combination. My first stop will be at a Discount Tires venue as I’ve always received good service from them.

Let us know what happens.
And don't forget pics!

Discount tire for life. I will never go anywhere else for tires. I don't have one near me so I had to order through discount tire direct. If you order online, their road hazard is no questions asked. They ship you a new tire free.

No worries mate! It’ll probably be a couple months though. Won’t even be picking up the new rig until mid November.

The Blue Mule

Kanati Trail Hog A/T
It's a duratrac copy but with 3 ply sidewall E rating

Not noisy, they balanced great (worst tire 3 leads, best one none used)

I run them at 30-35 back and 35-40 front.

Paid 1100$ tax included canadian.

I got 4000 KM on them and for now recommend them.


Edit: they have the snowpeak rating (its the law here in canada from december to march)

I like the 37" Load Range E rating. The majority of other brands of tires in this size are D. mikesjeep.com has a review on them and shows a photo of the most worn tire with lots of mileage on them.

Milestars have a load range f. They are 14 ply as well.

Well. Discount tire will not play with spacer at all. Actually, if you show up with spacers they wont even touch your ride.

Entirely dependent upon your local DT. I had spacers installed on my Jeep for a little while and DT worked on it, I've even had a few DTs mount a couple sets of beadlocks.

Correct for an after market different diameter than OEM size wheel. The 37" Milestar for the Power Wagon 's stock size 17" wheel is a Load Range D.

I don’t even go to discount. I get better deals at local shop and not have some douche benighted behind counter tell me they can balance my tire because it’s not for my a ram 2500. Only a power wagon hahahaha. Yeah that happened

I won’t buy anything less than load range E. Never heard of F. But I also want to stay with the 17” rim.

Haha. Took truck to em to have the front tire balanced. Was a vibration. They ask all the normal info. Dude tells me my 35” tires load e won’t work in my truck. We argue back and forth and he clicks on his computer some more. Then says is it a 2500 or a Power Wagon. I said they’re basically the same crap. Their system wouldn’t let them click my 2500 so I said dude just hit the power wagon button. Then he starts to tell me that they’re not the same. I then proceed tell him the differences between the 2 trucks and what i’ve done to my truck. After about 10min of back and forth they finally just balance the damn tire. I my receipt somewhere. As far as discount is concerned I own a 2014 power wagon haha. It was just dumb. Phew long story

SeaSickSailer,

Nexen, Load Range F

https://www.tires-easy.com/37-12.50-17/nexen-tires/roadian-mtx/tirecode/16348NXK

Also, Toyo adds Load Range F tires....April 11, 2017. No 17" diameter wheel.

http://media.toyotires.com/press-releases?item=122476

I run Load Range E, 3 ply carcass, and good on sharp rock, mud, snow/ice tires. Load Range F couldn't hurt on a 2500 due to we have lots of sharp rock here and I haul loads and tow on it.

You'd think the 2500 badge and the power wagon decals would give it away. [emoji2369]

I brought my Power Wagon old tires and wheels including the spare to Discount Tire in Grand Junction in the bed of my Chevrolet 1/2 ton for my last set of new tires. They have never seen the Power Wagon, or 2500, or Ram, Dodge, or whatever they put it into the computer as. Picked them up when they texted me that they were ready and installed them back at home. No issues.
