Grabber 37" comes in at 87lbs.

From the thread you originally posted that in, your Baja TA 37s were 75lbs. That's 8lbs a corner lighter than my Toyo 35s and 12lbs lighter than the Generals

The SCT tuner allows you tune for the 37's. Stopped the trans from constantly hunting for the right gear.

I could definitely be wrong but when I first got my tuner from Mike it took a while for the computer to figure out when to shift and how to smooth things out. So with the SCT tuner it might automatically calibrate the shifting after a while. But maybe manual settings have to be changed since all the extra weight the 37's have. I could see that too.

Theres no way i would run 37's on my Raptor with out re-gearing. Thats why im still patiently waiting for 4.88's to become available for my '12 so i can finally run some 37's already!
To the OP, i would go with the Duratracs if your sticking with factory sizing and encounter slippery road conditions. No need for those HEAVY toyos imho.
I run 315/70/17 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ which whey about 68lbs and when combined with my Methods put me around the same weight as factory set-up. We get slippery road conditions 8 months out of the year here and they do OK but not the greatest. MT's are not the greatest for winter driving but i am happy with them. Way stiffer side walls and they take the abuse our off road truck trails dish out.
I noticed a difference in acceleration from the stock set-up, i could not imagine how it would feel with Toyo's on there. Never gonna happen for me unless i did expeditions every other week and needed the protection against flats.
Good luck.

I run Open Country A/T's mounted on 18" XD Monsters for 3 seasons and then, for the winter months, change over to the Duratrac's which are mounted on the stock rims. They are great in the snow!

My Duratracs are in. I weighed them and they are 61.1, 62, 62.2 and 62.4 pounds. I will mount them soon to my method NVs and post the total weight and compare them to the stock wheel/tire weight.

Thanks man. This helps a lot.

hmmmm, why would there be a 1 lb difference on two of the same exact tires??

They do look good.

I assume all tires will have this slight difference.. unless you get lucky and get the four that are all about the same.

No clue. But I have 33s BFGs TAs on my landcruiser and they too were 1-2 pounds apart.

BTW .. my NVs were also 1-2 pounds difference from one another.
