Kind sir, could you please take a tape measure to them tires and get me a real-world street pressure height/width number? Thank you, and nice pictures.

25psi on uneven ground.

Somebody stole an inch there Glen. I always wonder who does the measuring when a tire that is stamped as a 35 measures in at 34, some fuzzy math going on there.

IronClad · « **Reply #33 on:** Apr 25, 2011, 03:07:15 AM »

Everything ive ever read/heard is that its because they measure them horizontally not vertically

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #34 on:** Apr 25, 2011, 03:22:47 AM »

Um, they're round, perfectly round this does not compute

zembalayan · « **Reply #35 on:** Apr 25, 2011, 07:51:32 AM »

I think IC is referring to the tire's position relative to the ground when measuring? Glen measured them when they were mounted or in a vertical position, rather than in a horizontal position or when the side walls are flat against the ground. I remember BigMike's comparison to comparably labeled MTRs.

At any rate, those tires are bad ass!

at 25 psi on the rear of my truck they are slightly bulged as most radials always are. I'll go measure my spare

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #37 on:** Apr 25, 2011, 10:20:16 AM »

ok, here is the "actual" height or I guess diameter would be a better term.

rage · « **Reply #38 on:** Apr 25, 2011, 12:04:57 PM »

More often than not its in the rim. My 35" MT-Rs went from 34" on 8" rims to a damn short 33"ish on 10" rims. Thats why I asked, because Mr. Glen here is on 10s. While a friend of mine, at 25psi and 12" rims they measure a little shorter than these here.
now, if its not to much trouble, could you get us a width measure ment looking at the tread(so we can see section width vs. tread width) please?

-Thanks, Stephan

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #39 on:** Apr 25, 2011, 05:53:45 PM »

Exactly, still doesn't messure up to a 35, I think you need to get some money back Glen you were shorted a 1/2 inch.

muddywaters · « **Reply #40 on:** Apr 26, 2011, 05:55:21 AM »

if he is on a 10" then it would be damn close to 35" tall on a 8. regardless they look dope on your truck.

i have been wanting a set for a while and my tax return is making it happen this year

. going 17s too because of my future axle plans(80 series). im just having a hard time dropping $1800 to go from 35s to 37s, though i can resell my km2s and rims and recoup some cash.

40" radials would be tits.

ok, here we go

section width

tread width

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #43 on:** Apr 27, 2011, 01:05:14 PM »

ground to rim at 27 psi

at 15 psi

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #44 on:** Apr 27, 2011, 01:09:23 PM »

10psi

10 psi (would have went lower but couldnt find my low pressure guage)

BigMike · « **Reply #45 on:** Apr 27, 2011, 01:27:09 PM »

Great photos Glen

My 37" biased-ply ROCKERs at 30 psi measured 36" brand new.

hey at least if ya ride them bald then you could have them recapped maybe

strictly for offroad use anyway.

BigMike · « **Reply #48 on:** Apr 27, 2011, 01:36:05 PM »

That is true. Despite their smaller size they were AMAZING off road tires. I wished they made a 38" tire, then I would've had a 37" tire

H8PVMNT · « **Reply #49 on:** Apr 28, 2011, 06:45:00 AM »

I will be buying these... Not to wide. Perfect!

Thanks for the pics.

i think that might be too much tire for my little turd right now...and my 1uz runner is not going to be done for a long while.

thanks for the pics and write-up...placing my order on monday.

Whatcha gonna get???

I really want a set of these, could buy them now but I need to save my money..
I would love the 39's if they weren't sooooo wide.

I also considered the 39" maddogs... ugh I wish I was rich so I could try both. Lol

potter85 · « **Reply #53 on:** May 01, 2011, 09:34:09 AM »

too bad they dont make the 37x 12.5x17 in bias ply... i like the 12.5s

bigarms23 · « **Reply #54 on:** May 01, 2011, 12:07:08 PM »

i considered the 39" maddogs too, they're spendy, and ive always wanted the rockers.

considered the 39.5 bias...hell im already spending this much..haha....but they are just not practical for a non-trailered toyota.

17x8s on order and gonna pull the trigger on the 37" radials today.

79coyotefrg sorry for hijacking your thread.
