They do not make a 36 ssr to my knowledge... They make a 35x12.50 and a 37x12.50

Swamper makes a 36x12.5 SS Radial. it measures out to 36.2".
Goodyear 37x12.5 is 36.7".
So there you go. Juice

For the record, the GY MT/R in a 37x15" is 36.4, think you were looking at the 17" rim measurements. That's a whole .3" difference...

thank you for the responses. im curious for the future b/c although i will be on my 35's for another year or so, i was considering one of these as my next choice. To me it seems like the GY MTR will be a better all purpose tire than the swamper and thats what i need since i do 80/20 driving. im running a 297x d30 one piece and a d44 w/ 4.88 and detroit rear and the 35's are awesome but i want to make my next tire just slightly bigger. That is when the time comes. Again thanks

If you street drive that much go with the MTRs. I have the 36" swampers and I gave up trying to heep them balanced.

I would go with the TRXUS M/T by interco. . .less noise and, I think better ride both on and especially off road

Well on the Goodyear site they state 36.7" for 37x12.5r15. Check it out

You are correct, sir!

I was looking on Tire Racks specs/dimensions for the MT/R. Who's to know?... :dunno:

We balanced my set of new 35" MTRs today and the worst one was only off from the factory by 2oz. The best was off by 1oz.
