I am on 35s now and need new tires. I probably wouldn't even think about it if places weren't clearing out Patagonia MTs to make room for the MT02, but they are. Found 37x12.50x17 Patagonia MTs on sale for $230 a piece which is cheaper than anything in 35 I have looked at.
I have Icon coilovers in the front, OME springs in the rear, and 1" body lift. I am clearing the 35s just fine.
Before I dive in, wanted to see if anyone could help me with a few questions.
I know that I will need to cut and tub to flex the 37s, but would I be alright street driving them until I can do that? The 4runner is a second vehicle, so I dont have to get it on the road asap. I do like to drive it to work a few times a week.
I have 4.88s now. Seems like 50/50 on here whether that is enough gearing. I can push the 35s well. Anyone running 37s with 4.88s have an opinion on drivability?
I am a pretty cautious driver, so when in doubt, I would rather use the winch than the skinny pedal. Still - am I going to be crushing cv axles on the reg?
Is this just a dumb idea?
