Looks a lot like the old style MTRs. Do they make a 37x12.5r15?
I don't see one...They come in 15-20 wheels & the biggest is 35's
Bummer, I'm not sure what I'll do when my tires wear out. At least I have 3 or 4 years before I have to worry about it...
Guy in our club was given a set to beat on and loves 'em.

Thanks for the link! I've only found one dealer online(They are pretty high compared to others) and they don't have all the sizes that is listed on GT website. That being said...that website has them priced higher than the MTR w/Kevlar & KM2's! Maybe call around to local shops & see how they compare on prices...
been trying local dealers and they dont even have a listing for them yet. i get huh....red letters ???

$212 for 35s. I saw these a few months back and have been curious to their performance, especially in the sharp rocks we have here in the NorthEast. My KM2s are getting shredded.
When I get another Rubi...I see these in 33's mounted on WE wheels! :D
4wheelonline.com has the lowest price and free shipping................discount tire will price match so i think i'll go that route will post opinion once they come in!!!!!!!!!

Sure, if you want to run 35 psi offroad... :jawdrop:
went with the 315 75 16 will be installed tuesday :jammin:
Sweet...So I'm sure we will be standing by for some pictures & thoughts!
sure thing......to be continued
got em last night, only 70 miles on road..... but look good, need to figure out pressure to run as dd
i saw these at a 4WPs in Dallas. First impression was "oh look, its a miniature 5-ton miilitary vehicle tire" After looking them over, here are my thoughts...

The tread blocks are huge! It makes me think traction for crawling would be reduced because of the tread's inability to bite/conform around rocks. Also, having large tread blocks makes me think that onroad traction will suffer as well. There are very few biting edges for wet/winter weather. There are also minimal sipe channels to evacuate water. Along with that, not having sipes in the tread blocks means the rubber will not cool down (as compated to tread blocks that are siped) which could lead to accelerated wear. And, with such large tread blocks, i would be concerned about wear patterns from DD useage. I can see these tires cupping out relatively easy.

It would be interesting to hear from those who have run them and what theyr cheer/jeers are about them...to see if General was able to produce a tire that wasn't an afterthought.

I'm sure they'll do great on the sandy roads in Baja.

Were these originally produced for military only?

I agree that large tread blocks without siping can be problematic.

At least that has been my experience around here (snow, muddy trails etc)
