37" BFG ATs

they make 38's, which are probably 37's,, because math escapes them.

lol. I want the 37's which are really 36's.

37's are a awesome look I really need them but, the reduced performance with them the only way I could do this myself is have the gearing done as well...

With the BFG 37s i haven't noticed a difference, i doubt there is any. Now the Toyo 37 MTs, i'm sure you'll notice a bi of a loss. Heavier and bigger.

There is a difference for sure and it should be noticeable I dont understand why you cant feel it... if you get next to a Raptor with stock tires and compare/run them you will see the difference. Looks like in order to run 37s and be near stock you would need 434 gears from teh calc i use with 37s running 4.11 gears you are now running at 3.89 gear...

Only a 6 lb or so difference between the tires. I have damn near that much plastidip on each wheel

I've put 35s on a few 5.4L F-150s w/ 3.73 gears and definitely noticed the power/acceleration difference. I assumed that jumping to 37s with 4.10 gears on the Raptor would be similar. I'm not disagreeing with you Hockster, because there has to be a difference, but like Vanilla Gorilla, I didn't really notice much difference either with the 37" BFGs. If someone had put them on my truck without telling me, I doubt I would have known and I can't say that for any of my previous trucks.

Right, agree totally! I will say that if you want a bit of a bigger tire without a lot, if any sacrifice, the BFG AT 37 is the best tire for the Raptor. I would challenge anyone to look at my truck in person and say they don't like the look. Then i'll give them a ride and say they feel much if any difference in performance, but feel a better ride. It's the best bang for the buck and for the larger tire. I call it the true 35.

Dont get me wrong I love them!!! I want for my truck but, with the few years of automotive experience I have no way would I get them without a gear change..

Yeah, it's all good. Now I wouldn't get the Toyo MTs with out a gearing change.

Because of 6lbs per tire? Would you do it going from 35bfg to 35 toyo?
