37x12.5r20 vs 37x11.5r20

[RedSRT4Me]

Hey guys it's that time again for new tires.

The wheels I run are moto metal 20x10 with the following nittos

35x12.5r20 Terra Grappler G2's

37x12.5r20 Ridge grapplers (loved these)

37x12.5r20 Recon grapplers (liked ok)

I was holding out to try BFG KO3's but from my research im afraid I'll be really disappointed w them.

So my question is I see 37x11.5r20 for $50 cheaper per tire and 10lbs per tire lighter in weight. The 12.5 is listed at 82lbs per tire and the 11.5 is listed at 72? What am I missing here? Any consequences going with 11.5 width tires. Tire specs list the max rim width at 10 so I'm good there.

The weight savings on the wheel would be nice but not critical. Same with the cost of the tire.

Figured Id ask to see if anyone has had this experience with both width tires who could give some advice

I prefer narrower to wider myself...
If 11.5" is available and fits it's definitely the way I'd go...

Nothing negative. My son has run both a 35 1250 and 35 1150, I could not tell a difference ride/drive wise. Save the weight/money is my opinion

There are some benefits to running a wider tire, but most of those are on paper or for female drivers

I will always go with a narrower tire on a truck
But that's me, I have to deal with this stuff called "snow"
