37 inch tire change

[High maintenance Rap]

Wondering if someone has been in my shoes , currently I have the stock tires and thinking of going to an aftermarket tire still in a 37inch , I’m driving more on the street and 1x a month off road light trails. Is it worth the change of tires? My mind playing tricks on me do to the fact I’m seeing those nice aggressive aftermarket tires , but do I really need it ? Will the performance increase? Mickey Thompson , Nitto, ecc….. I’m lost

I do have a nice 17 inch black fuel rim if that helps the situation

Looking for the same. After doing research I think I’m going with the toyo at3’s. They’re light and do not have such an aggressive tread pattern for road resistance.

I sure experts could chime in?

Yes Toyo are always being mentioned

My “Expert” worthless opinion…30+years on ONLY BFG’s..
Disclaimer….Mostly Desert, 50-60% Off-roading
They have always gotten me home.
Also I only run Load Range E. The C range gets shredded by the heat/desert

I think also people desire that square look from the back that BFG doesn’t really give on the stock that leads to people to change the stock in my opinion, BFG should work on that. Only my opinion, unfortunately looks sell in this world.

I just need 37’s for Starbucks and hwy/local travels.

At least your honest, I’m not a big off road guy either

It’s a tough balance. Look at Nitto Ridgegrappler and Toyo R/T also. Or find some cheap wheels and do two sets so your not giving up anything get some Cooper STT Pro and skip the sensors if you don’t mind the annoying warning and just throw them on when you wheel. They will last forever just doing that. Of course you need space for them. If for looks only get a hybrid mentioned above or others.

I'm the largest advocate of 37s, but don't put 37" tires on a street truck. They weigh more, lower your gas mileage, and throw off your speed-o [without tuning] with no benefit. 37's give you more contact patch and help you stay on top of slightly bigger chatter while off-road.
