okay, i have SSR's now. they are good, but the front ones are wearing fast. they are badass for me tho cause i work in teh mud and offroad in the mornings and then drive 30 miles to school in my toyota. i want something different and want either MT/R's, Claws or perferably BFG's, BUT noone can tell me if there is a 37" BFG MT for a 15" rim. i was TOLD that there was, but havent seen it yet. how long do MT/R's usually last on a yota? claws? i know how good BFG's are, ive had them. not as good offroad as SSR's or TSL's but are good for me. WHERE CAN I GET 37" BFG'S FOR A 15" RIM? thanks:usa: :beer:

37" BFG's for a 15" wheel doesn't exist according to 4wheelparts they list a BFG56097 which is a 37" for a 17" wheel. I didn't find any 37" for 15" wheels on a cursory search.

...the only way to get 37" mtr's is to talk to some ARCA guys, otherwise you'll pay $400/tire. I know, its freakin nuts.

37" claw looks to be your only option, suposidly there out now (I've seen one place advertising them) or 36" PJ dirtgrips should be as tall as any 37" tire

The 37" for a 17" wheel is an allterain they are making or going to make a 37" M/T i saw some at the Sema show but not sure on rim sizes. I also talked to the Mickey Thompson rep and he said that they are building a 37" claw. I would think we will see more of these 37" tires after the new year in thier new product lines.

[rumor on] There is none in the US currently [rumor off] It appears that there is none to be had, at any price unless you find someone who already has a stockpile. (period) And that really sucks. Looks like 38.5"x14.5 TSL/SX's for me.

The new BFG Mud Terrain KMs are only available in 37s for a 17" wheel. Supposedly BFG is going to come out with a 37 for a 15" rim, but who knows when. Remember how long it took for the new Mud Terrain to hit the market in the first place? :rolleyes:
Also, the 37s go for $260 a piece at National Tire and Wheel (http://www.ntwonline.com/ntw0799/pages/bfgoodrich.html). Couple that with $200 a piece rims, because the only people making 17s right now are Mickey Thompson and Weld. You aren't going to find cheap $35 steelies in a 17" size.
As for the MT/Rs... just take a look at all of the rumors listed here! You will have a very hard time finding any, and if you do, they are going to wear even faster than your SSRs because the 37s are super soft.
The Baja Claws are an option, National Tire and Wheel (http://www.ntwonline.com/ntw0799/pages/mthompson.html#Anchor-We-49575) lists a 37 in the Claws for a 15" rim, but a price isn't listed. I'd expect them to be around $250 apiece though.
It sounds like your best bet is to stick with the SSRs and get your truck aligned!

Right now 37" goodyears are impossible even for the top 10 arca competitors from last year. Mickey's are available, but you will not want them for the street (drag slick compound), wont last a week of commuting. BFG's are under going testing and changes(also comp. tires super soft....rumor). Best bet will be used MTR's from an ARCA competitor. GOOD LUCK, you'll need to find someone down on their luck, if they are selling.
