opinions? anyone ever ran them? im looking at some in the 40x13.50 17 flavor.

Never run em, but they do seem to often be the cheapest tires available in the big sizes like that. Buy em and let us know...

i might get them. what little reviews i have found have mostly been on the geolander MT, the older ones not the new MT PLUS,

i guess now they have 3 ply sidewalls where as the old ones only had 2 and they sucked offroad compared to the new ones that way better

directional tire as well but for the price of 4 at 1300 compared to all the others im sold.

Take a look at the Nitto trail grappler. Similar price through discount tire direct, and have been one of the best tires I have ever run. Super tough sidewall, and run down the road at 70mph dead smooth.

old thread bump!

i am going to look at some 37" geolandar m/t's on saturday. most reviews i have read so far seem good for a street/wheeling tire. any one have personal experience?

might have to drop the cash and try them out.

I had a buddy that ran the 33s or 35s way back when. Ran Moab and the rubicon with them. Wheeled TSF every weekend and never busted one.

Those 40s would be sweet all siped for winter deep snow.

well i pulled the trigger on these used 37's as they are barely used with rims were only 1000.

first impression is the 37's look alot beefier than the 33' i have seen in the past but maybe that is just the newer version vs the old.

here are some pics i took. hopefully it wont be too long before i can bolt them up and try them out but i still have to build the truck.
