I have a couple of questions for those of you running this tire:

1. How much taller than the 38x12.50 is the 38.5x14.50? Only mention of this on the site said 37 inches. Does this sound about right? I know the 38x12.50 is 36" actual height.

And you better not try refer me to intercotire.com for specs. They're as far off as any other tire company on specs. :flipoff2:

2. What are your feelings on running this on an 8 inch wheel? I know 10" is probably recommended, but I like running 5 PSI... and I know someones done it:question:

just for reference here is a 36x12.50x15 tsl on a 15x10 next to a 38.5x14.50x15 on a 10" rim. notice the 38 has the weight of the jeep on it. and the other doesnt.

and it's weird how there are two topics with the same name about 38.5 SXs at the same time... spooky
They don't have the same name! Mine is plural - his is "SXQuestion" :flipoff2:

Woody - can you call someone a newbie who has double your posts and a red star? :p (So what if you registered 2x as long ago.)

Thanks desert, rover, and dust puppy. Those pics are exactly what I wanted. :D :D :D

Woody - isn't it illegal to call me a newbie with 2x your post count and a red star? :p (I mean, does anyone care that you have been around 2x as long as I have, and know more about FJs than anyone I'm aware of?) :D

Rover, desert, et al - thanks for the pics. Those are exactly what I was lookin' for. :D

The thread he "found" with the search was one I had just finished reading. At the time of my post it had no info on the 38.5 vs. 38 height difference... so I don't get why you guys keep assuming I didn't search because a thread which didn't answer the primary question I had keeps getting mentioned?

And it can't be a double post if A)I didn't post the first one and B)As mentioned, it covers a DIFFERENT TOPIC :flipoff2:

Oh, and woody: WTF? I was complimenting you, bastid. ;) :D

aw man....we were just starting to have fun with it too....bastid....lol <it's a double smack-down - lol>

BTW: run 5 golf balls inside each for balancing. Works great for mine! (may as well get this thread more off topic...)
