Tire manufacture date

[TJ1978]

I have Goodyear wrangler and the numbers appear to have a manufactured date of June 2010
Is this correct? I ask because upon inspection I noticed all 4 tires are showing signs of dry-rot/cracking

They are 16.5x12.5x37 a dead size I gather. It appear push is coming to shove on getting new 17 wheels and new 37’ tires.

After the DOT it reads
MJ9F A51V 0610

Drivers side are the ones that get the majority of the sun out here in AZ... front driver is the worst rear driver is getting bad
I guess that 90’ Burb I was eyeing will have to wait

Zoom in on the third pick

Those super swamped are ridiculous.... hahaha for the street. I saw them but passed...I appreciate the heads-up though.

Wait what? 16.5 diameter? I'm buying a 64 GMC RV right now with 16.5 wheels and I cannot find any tires for it! I thought that was an old tire size

They have more street friendly threads in the 16.5.

All I saw in 37x12.5x16.5 were monster tread swampers and weenie tread street tires...

If you see others please link them. I already ordered the 17’ wheels from summit so..... Hahahahah maybe too late

From what I’ve read and searched in that size, the options are extremely limited. You may find a good street tire, I didn’t . I need a mud type tire and 16.5 all there is swampers...

I’m looking at cooper sst, falken or pro comp.
General grabber looks nice but a bit too pricey

You are right. Upon Googling, I did find some Street friendly ones, but not wallet-friendly ones

I have a general Grabbers on my K5. I wish I would have just spent a few bucks more and got BFG.

Why do you dislike the Generals?

 

[TJ1978]

Since the “ the xx what my truck looks like” doesn’t get much traffic.
I was watching this and wondering what is the benefit of going with 37’ instead of 35’s with a 4’ lift? Other than price what are the pros and cons in these two sizes?

 

[fordsucks!]

Why do you dislike the Generals?

I don't dislike the generals. Have two sets in my driveway right now. I think they're second place while BFG is first place

 

[TJ1978]

These look nice and 37’ are about $80 more than the 35’

I'm a big fan of the ProComp MT2. Good performing and pretty quiet. They'll run buy 3 get one specials, too

 

[TJ1978]

When do they usually run those buy 3 get 1 deals?
