37" KO3s - Got an ETA from BFG

[Hemmy]

I'll add that I tow monthly with OEM C rated 35's. I swapped to a set of takeoff OEM C rated 37's for 2 trips and put my 35's back on. Though I'm well within the weight rating for both tires, the C rated 37's added a squishy, lack of control feeling while towing that I didn't like at all. If I move to 37, it would likely be a D rated tire as well. Did you lose any ride quality with the switch to D?

Did you try airing up the 37's to see if that would help with the "squishy"? I added 37's but haven't towed my boat with them yet. I only tow a couple of times a year so not too worried about it. I might just air up for my short trip from storage to the lake. I used to air them up when I towed it longer distances and noticed the difference in the ride with more psi.

I think part of the issue might be the reduced width of the tire on the 37s vs 35s.

I have 37" Toyo RT Trails that are E rated and the ride quality change wasn't noticeable. They are also a full 37 versus the BFGs are closer to a 36. I've towed my RZR with the BFGs and the Toyos and also didn't notice any change.

They have a “D” rated 35 KO3 listed on their website. When I look them up in a search, it shows them for sale at certain locations. I’m contemplating running these on my 2 spares until the KO2s expire on the truck and then switching to the D rated KO3. If anyone has any input I’m always happy to listen and learn!

Thank you for this thread. I’m relieved to be in the company of other tire-obsessed raptor enthusiasts

K03 37” load range C is what I’ve been waiting for

Still love Conti terraincontact AT in the 35” !! Best street 35 ever
