Tire size - What's the skinny?

If it's about Power Wagons, all generations, this is where it'll go. This is the original PWR Forum Power Wagon Technical Discussion Section. And this includes everything that doesn’t fit in any one of the other categories related to the truck goes here!

It's funny how all of us have a different view on tires. One mans favorite tire is another mans most hated tire. Hopefully I didn't come across as an ass when I said you couldn't give me BFG's.

Absolutely not!! I know how many hate the BFG's on here, yet in 25 years of driving, I've never had better tires!! For our Alberta winters, they've always been great to me, and ask Morgan, I had mine down to 12 psi in sharp rocks with no damage, whereas he had a duratrac get sliced on the sidewalk, requiring my spare to finish the day and get home! ;) I have a set of 37" that I'm gonna throw on mine ASAP, hoping that I don't have to do anything to the '15 to make them work. With the 315's, there's no rub at all, and the 37" aren't that much bigger. I'll post pics once my tire guy can get to them!

I put these exact tires on my 2012 about two weeks ago and the fit is perfect. No rub anywhere, and it looks better than the factory 33" tires did. These look like they are going to be a really good tire when it comes time to leave pavement.
