I'll go skiing with you but MattIV @smiledochill and I made a rule last year that flatlanders don't go hiking with natives.

“Just a few switchbacks”
It was just around the corner. On another note, remind me what gear ratio you have in your differentials?

4.10.
One of the things I’m trying to resist buying is bigger tires, I could drop cruising rpm’s down to 1500 or so. I’m very disappointed that these 37” bfg’s only measure out to about 16.5”radius. Lusting after the 38x11.50 ridge grappler which I beleive would be truer to size. I like the pizza cutter idea. But might need bump stops then.
And it takes 15000 miles to pay for the tires in expected fuel savings.
More than you asked for…
I wouldn’t expect less information. This could be how a 3 mile hike turns into an all day trek.
This is good info. I’ve run these tires for years on trucks and SUVs but never on the Cruiser. I was thinking about getting a set of 37” tires for general driving, but perhaps the 39” would be a better choice for me. Perhaps a 39” BFG will be more like a 37-38” tire and that should mesh well with the 5:13 gears. I am planning for next year. I have other plans for my play money this year, including the possibility of finishing the hard top.

Here ya go
Ridge Grappler | Hybrid Terrain Light Truck Tire | Nitto Tire
The Ridge Grappler features a revolutionary dynamic hybrid tread pattern and provides a quiet and comfortable with off-road performance capabilities.
I’m looking at 17” but the Nitto site is pretty friendly to use, to show all available.
Pretty tough to find the pizza cutter type sizes in a brand that I trust and Nitto has been very good to me on my Tundra.
But man is it real money, at least to me.

Broski, sweet , thanks for that, I been lookin and those fit the bill perfect. 313 for them is not bad at all IMO. Now I need some 17" rims with 2.5" backspace, anyone ???
FWIW the Ridge Grappler link quoted 128 per tire but have not gotten any further comms from the seller. I thnk they are a manuf. and are looking for orders of thousands of tires.

I think there’s been a mistake, the link you said you inquired about was for some “made in China” (actual web page name) thing called the alligator. The first link was to Nitto’s website.

No mistake, I dont see what the $00 came from, the Mud Hog says 313 per and the chinese ones quoted 128 per but there has been no further comms.
I will probably get the Mud Hogs and stack them until I get 17" rims. walmart shows them ready to ship at that price.

Shipping might kill the deal. I am not sure why you are seeing them that high. I pay a bit less than that for them, as a shop owner.
Sorry, that was the Open Country RT, let me look for the others.
