This HAS to be the most ignorant, assinine comment yet.

A 37" tire makes a BIGGER footprint. More square inches hitting the ground. So there is actually LESS PSI exerted on the ground, as your narrow 31" tires are supporting the same weight. A 37" tire aired down will FLOAT on the surface better than a 31.

I'd really like you to point to ONE study that shows bigger tires cause more damage. Just one.
