Does anyone have any experience with these in 37x13.50? I am lookin to get these in about a month and looking for opinions. It’s either these or Cooper STT’s. 308fd871da6e0f735d5066896250fb10.jpg

Not sure about the khumos, but I will never buy a cooper tire. I had cooper LTZ on my 2006 ram, and my brother had them on his tundra. Both of ours were completely bald at 20,000 miles.
Tires were rotated at every oil change, and alignments were done at both of our installs. Personally im a fan of nitto trail grapplers.
Me and my brother both got 60,000 miles out of the trail grapplers after we installed them after the coopers.
As soon as my toyo MT wear out thats what I will be getting.

I hear ya about saving money. Hopefully someone can give you some feedback on the Khumo. $295 shipped for a 37" mt is pretty cheap.

Mine weren’t 37s, but I ran 35s on my 2011 Ram for a bit. I didn’t put a lot of miles on them due to a short commute, but I can give you my impressions. I had no issues out of them, they were more quiet than I expected and rode pretty well. I think they look cool. Only downside is that they throw off a rotation schedule a bit. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy them again. I personally went with Kanati Mud Hogs on my 17. I had them on my Jeep before and liked them. To be honest, I’ve been a little disappointed in how this set has balanced out. But idk if they’re available in a 37. I like the pattern on them and the sidewall. Here is a pic of my 2011 with the Kumhos...

I think I’m leaning towards them, I’ve read some reviews and have seen a lot of good things

Falken's work great for me. Good looking aggressive tire. I got the 265/70r20 (stock) size amd no drop in mpg's!

It's going to come down to personal preference and budget. I worked in the tire industry for 8 years. Kumho is a quality product and aggressive tread. Falken is always a top quality name brand tire that is a great option. I have Cooper 35x12.50x20's on my wifes Jeep JKU and they are wearing great and are quite. I have an off brand 37x12.50x20 on my truck and am more than happy with the price and quality of the tire.

Not all tires are going to balance out the same even from the same company, unfortunately. One person can have a great experience and someone else could get a terrible set.

My buddy has the kumhos on his titan and they’re very loud. They’re still 3/4 tread so I can only imagine when they get wore down more. I had the nitto trail grapplers on my old truck, liked them a lot but got 40k miles out of them when they wouldn’t pass inspection anymore and they took a pile of weight to balance. Rotated them every 5000 miles on the dot. I currently have Mastercraft mxt’s on this truck and so far very happy with them. Ride great, real good traction on wet and snowy roads and relatively quiet. As long as I get the mileage people say in reviews out of them, I’ll be getting them again, just maybe in a 37” this time.

Well if you don’t want to stop in wet conditions, go for the kumhos. I had them for one week. Had a few friends that had them. Not one of us liked them. I’ll spend the extra cash to get something great. Personally I’d go for the coopers.

I have the STT Pro's on my 2500 Hemi in 305/70/18. Sitting at 30k miles. Very good snow and ice traction. I'd guess I'll get about 40k out of them. Rotate around every 5200 miles. They have gotten really loud. I like the sound though, along with my dual exhaust. Mileage took a big dive in that size, but the bigger tires look so much better. I'd never buy a directional mud tire like Kumho. I don't see how they'd last since you can't get each tire on all 4 corners.
