How far do you travel on 37's
 
Those with 37" tires... how far do you travel? Are all your trips short and around town or do you do any highway travel, say 200+ miles are a time?

I dont think there would be much difference between 35s and 37s but i really want 37s and keep trying to talk myself out of them and going with 35s. I dont do a ton of long trips but I do travel sometimes 200-300 miles at least a half dozen times a year.

Jacksonville, FL to Winston-Salem, NC back and forth. 480 miles.

I've done several 600+ mile trips. You'll be fine, you have good highway mileage with larger tires (depending how much self control you have i.e. driving at 55mph).

I drive home from school once a month or every other month. Waco, Texas to San Antonio, Texas. It is about 240-260 miles one way. On the interstate I usually stay at 80 or above.. Last trip I did 240 miles of highway driving, and 60 of city, roughly. I got 14.5 mpg.

I plan on driving to see my gf and it is 700 miles, one way... I need a spare first though haha

and gear ratio!

lots of 550+ mile trips one way.. with no gear change. I think it actually rides better but have heard with bead locks it is different.

I have 38's, and travel 300+ Miles a week to my ranch. Trust me, you'll be fine.

The only thing I would recommend would be re gearing.
