38X12.50R17 NITTO Ridge Grapplers

[wayoflife]

They are 4.75 I just looked them up because I have the same one

Yup, 4.75 and way too much for our coilovers.

This is my personal preference: Anything taller than 35" just looks better, to me, in a 13.50. Luckily I'm not needing new tires anytime soon. I purchased my Coopers , in part, because of Eddie's reviews of them. And I love them! So, even if Eddie gives these a glowing review, I couldn't see myself ever considering them if not offered in 38x13.50x17.

STT Pros have been a great time for me and I loved them. My only issue with them now is that they're now owned by Goodyear.

So is Jet Li sitting on a 2.5" lift,,, i was planning on an evo 2.5 enforcer overland and then going with toyo 37/12.50r17 mts,, with a 38/1250/17 in this tire now I am officially torn. They will be on the factory rubi wheels & considering i already blacked them out and love that look.

I understand that. Like I said, I'm not needing new tires anytime soon. Hopefully the RG will be available in 13.50 when I'm ready.
I also hate that Goodyear owns Cooper now, and that they've decided to insert themselves into a political situation.

It really is a shame. I still have good contacts at Cooper and I don't think they're happy about it.

Yeah eventually I will have to get new wheels when ever I get new axles for mine but that's a few years away.

What do you think the ideal BS is for that tire not taking into account the C/O situation?

 

[13_gecko_rubi]

I think it's great they did it. And especially the fact they are a C rated tire!!! We'll see how they handle 470HP if you catch my drift

What did you do with the salvage Jeep?

Sold it. Was too much of a pita lol

Did you finish it? Or just a pile of parts?

Pile of parts.

What is the difference between the two sidewalls? (In terms of performance)

Ideal back spacing is factory, 6.25". Anything less than that is a compromise but more is always better if you can clear your tires. 3.5" is just super common and can be found in most wheels. Of course, they will help to clear my coilovers too.

No difference, they should both do well. Nitto just makes it so that you can choose which design you want to run.

Love the tires but to big for my jeep 35's is as big as I can go

38 is definitely not for everyone but yes, it is a good tire.

So i wonder if an evo 2.5 overland on a rubi would be doable?

Yes it will

Well you can run 37's with no problems, I would imagine that you wouldn't have any problems with 38's
