37 x 11.50 R17 Nitto Recon Grappler

[mrjking2000]

Less than 5lbs per tire than the 12.5?Yes less rolling mass, but would it make a huge difference in gas milage?

Funny, when I read Nitto in the title, I assumed it was going to be another "true to size" thread... it's not. Cool.

yeah just seeking input on if this skinny 37 has been used on a bronco yet. my F250 has skinny 35s (IE 11 wide not 12.50) and it does pretty dang good. I believe that tire size is 285/70 R18.

Yes! That’s what I was referring to. He gets ultra nerdy on measurements and tire deflection and pressures.

Scienced the shit out of it!

Novelty tire appealing to people reading a spec sheets. I would stick with a normal size and focus on a better tire. Nitto is not a tire I would run in cold weather.

Explain the cold weather reference please. I’ve ran Nitto Terra Grapplers on the Excursion for many miles and now a Gladiator, and they’ve been great, but I live in South Texas. I’m not sure where the OP lives. I replaced the Nittos on the Excursion with MT Baja Legends when I went from 33’s to 35’s on the Ex and honestly wish I had bought Nittos again instead.

I'm running the 37 x 11.5 Recons. I only have about 4k on them but so far so good, no complaints...good road manners/ride for a "D" rated tire. Haven't had a much in the way of snow this year to speak to winter driving.

Nittos are fine if you live in fair weather. Once you hit near zero they become very hard and get worse with only half tread sipping. The super cheap bald Discount Tire Pathfinder A/T had better traction in Iowa. I had awt or awp hybrid tires from nitto that where triple peak rated and the worst tires I have ever had. Have since had other Nittos on work trucks and no issues till the cold.

Nitto/Toyo/Bridgestone are on the do not recommend list if someone says snow. If you say Death Valley in summer they would be my first choice.

outstanding! how are they for fitment and whatnot. can you post up some pictures of a side profile, front and rear profile? i'd really like to see them visually on the bronco. did you keep the OE wheels?

Here's some pics. The wheels are +12mm offset which puts the 11.5" tire pretty much the same as SAS poke within a few mm. The flares are SAS. Lifted 2" in the front, 1.75" in the rear. Also, the Recons come with two different sidewall patterns, I chose the less jagged side to be exposed.
