Default 37's good or bad?

The grapplers are almost worn out and im getting a more all terrain tire. I was thinking about 37's on my FX4. It has about 5" of lift and maybe 2 more i dont know about (previous owner had 33"s on with plenty of space). I posted a pic with how much space i have between the tire and wheel well now. I need suggestions and opinions.37's good or bad?-dd-.jpg

Those in the pic are 33's?? So many tire choices man.. Drop down from the mud to the trails or go down further to a complete A/T tire... The list I've heard this week were duratrac, BFG and a few others...

The pic that i posted is 35's. And they lasted about a year and a half. I do a lot of driving and mudding as well. They were well used. So i should do 37's?

Ya definitely 37s man your wheel wells will look a lot more filled, you know about how many miles you've had the graps? The tread doesn't look too bad from that pic looks like it still has some life

Definitely 37's.... Looks like you've got plenty of room... BFG's would be a good choice also

i have a buddy driving a lifted chevy with the bfg all terrains and he hates them, not even 30k on them and they're already gone. but he does alot of highway driving to and from school. i've heard alot of good about them also, i guess it depends on your driving

Yep... That's what I was thinking... I hear the same thing about trail grapps but I'm getting good results... A lot of people swear by the BFG's..
