My tire guy was talking to me about these, anyone know if they're avaliable in 37's??
Will the 35x12.50R17 size fit on a 17" x 7.5" stock Rubicon wheel without too many issues? I notice Nitto is recommending a 8.5" to 11" wheel width for these, but I've heard of people running a similar size tire on stock rims and wanted to know if it would work for these. I'm already getting -10° to -20° weather up here (and it's only going to get colder) so proper winter rated tires are something I need, and if I'm buying tires I'd like to upgrade the size at the same time. That said, I'd rather save the money it would cost me to buy new wheels and put that towards other upgrades if I can help it. What do you think, is it possible or would it be a bad idea?
yes you can and it will fit. if you dont already have them you will need a set of 1.5" wheel spacers like the ones spidertrax makes to insure you dont rub at full turn or have and issues in the rear of the jeep.
I was dead set on Duratracs until I saw this tire. Does anyone have a weight for the 35x12.5r17? Also curious on how they ride since Nitto only offers these in an E rating. I like the fact that the Exo has a thicker sidewall and this is making me think it may be better than the Duratrac since it's also winter rated.
I have read between 65 lbs and 73 lbs for the Exo. I'm ordering them hopefully soon.

That's no too bad then. I've read that E rated tires ride pretty rough compared to D rated tires. If the difference is minimal, I still might go with the Exos.
I had 33" duratracs. which were D rated and on my current rig have 35" duratracs which are E rated. I honestly can't tell the difference in ride/noise. I think it depends on the tire, but my 35" duratracs ride very nicely, so don't let the rating stop you.
I guess you are running 16" or 18" wheels to get the Duratracs in 35s with an E rating. I'm on 17s and they have a D rating for the Duratrac 35. Who knows. I look forward to reading more reviews on the Exo. It will be a few months before I'll have the funds for new rubber. My BFG KOs are going to need to be replaced soon tho.
I can't comment on the exos as I've never owned them but part of the reason why I went 16" on the 14 rubi is because I was so happy with the performance of duratracs when I had 33s on 15s. I've taken them literally through every condition and they have been stellar. Are the exos as good? They very well could be, but IMHO, they have large shoes to fill.
I thought about doing 16s but want to have the option of a big brake kit in the future if I decide to which seems to always require 17s. Both of these tires being about the same price doesn't make it any easier a decision. I guess I will wait and see what people say about it.
