Hey guys, I'm new here...so hello all! :beerdrinking:
I have a 2011 JKU Sahara with a 2.5" lift, flat fenders, and I'm looking at either 35" Toyo M/T's or 37" Toyo R/T's.
I heard the R/T's were light compared to the the M/T's so I inquired with Toyo to find out....the 35/12.5/17 M/T's weigh 83 pounds, the 37/13.5/17 R/T's weigh 84 pounds. With a 1 pound difference from the two I'd like to go with the 37's, but I'm unsure of the consequences going this route since it's basically the same weight.
I see all the threads saying everything wears out quicker the bigger you go, but would this be the case when deciding between these two tires? Is my drivetrain going to suffer anymore going with the 37's as opposed to the 35's? If it is, why? Isn't the weight what's going to dictate how much excessive wear happens....or am I missing something?
Thanks for any input, and if this has already been discussed in another thread, please point me that way.
