Just got these on this morning....37/12.5/17 Goodyear MT/Rs on 17x9 Eagle Alloy 102s. Total cost: $1905. ![](http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif) I'm dying to try them out, the Den's flooded so I ran over some curbs at an elementary school. These things ride smoother and quieter on the road than my stock ATs!
Anyone looking for a good deal in the SA area, contact Mac Salas at Discount Tire on Bandera and 1604 (372-9070). This guy bent over backwards to help me out. $255 each on the MT/Rs, BTW.

Looks nice. Those are the tires I am looking at. Went over to 4 wheele Parts today in denver. I'm a little concerned about tire flex when aired down though. That sensor in the back well for the air susp. could be very close to getting broken! ![](http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif)
that setup looks very nice! i was quoted the same price today also. Keep us updated.

My husband keeps asking me the same thing!
Likely in the fall....I have to find time and transportation in order to part with it for a day.

What changes did you do after adding the 37" tires - calibration wise? How is steering? any vibration?
They look fantastic - I am waiting for more availability and black power-coated stock rims.

So does this mean the best tire ever made, the Goodyear MT/R 37x12.5R17, is again generally available for civilian purchase?!

Absolutely nothing calibration-wise. They did have to re-order one tire since it wasn't balancing correctly, but I haven't noticed a major difference in ride. They actually seem to ride smoother than the stock ATs. I haven't noticed a change in noise levels either, but then again, my stereo's always cranked up. ![](http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif) As far as steering goes, no changes in that either. I expect to have some rubbing when I take it off-road, but there's no problem with daily driving.

I've heard it's around 7% difference, which isn't worth the effort.
