Best 37" tire for rain?

[Shooter04]

I am currently running a set of 37x12.5x18 BFG KM2's and they've been awesome. When the time comes for my next set I was thinking of getting the same size tire, but in the T/A KO. I'm tired of always worrying about my tires slipping out or hydroplaning. I love the look, feel, noise, etc of the KM2's...but they aren't too good in the rain. Sometimes my rear tires slip out when I'm at a stoplight even when i barely nudge the gas....

I was thinking the T/A KO would be a good compromise. There aren't much options in the 37x12.5x18 size so i know that will be a problem.

Anyone have any advice?

Thanks!

The BFG TA Ko is built in a 37x12.50R18. Contact one of your local Discount Tire stores for price and availability. You may also want to look at the Falken Wild Peak AT. These have a little better channeling for water removal, they are also available in this size and they have a 50,000 mile warranty.

I run the BFG A/T's in a 37/12.50/20 on my F-250 its only been for a month now but i have worn out two sets on my Nissan. I love them They dont have the best water channeling but I wouldn't have any other A/T tire.

you guys know if I can fit 37's on my OBS F350 with a 4" lift?

The Km2's are gonna be better in the rain than the a/t. I've ran both on my f150 and the km2 was much better just about everywhere, as Discount Tire said the new Falken A/t is actually a very suprising tire. I haven't had really any complaints from the many sets I've put on customers trucks (i work in a tire shop) and they're a bit cheaper, but i've learned if a tire works for you, and you know it works for you, then why change?

Have you installed the lift yet? If so, what tires and wheels are you running now?

Well im running a set of 37/13.50/20 toyo mts and i dont have any problems with water channeling but im really thinkin bout goin with a set of nitto trail grapplers next. Ive heard good things bout them and they are made by toyo so you may want to give them a thought as well.
If you dont wanna go that route, maybe look up a set of kumho KL71 mt, just a thought, decent priced tire but not really sure how they wear on a superduty.

I love my nitto trail grapplers, smooth, quiet, and long lasting. I had the toyo open country m/t before. Both are good tires. I prefer the look of the trail grapplers also, but they are a slouch in loose terrain, then again they are more of a hard packed tire. They ride very good in rain, I highly recommend these tires unless you will be driving through a bunch of sand...

A buddy of mine had 37's on factory 20's put on his 350 4x4 with no lift! They just had to trim some tabs down. I believe it was nitto terra grapplers. I didn't believe it until I saw it, but they fit them under there.

The only thing i hate is that they dont make a 37/13.50/20 in that tire, its a 12.50 and i kinda curious if it will look like a pizza cutter on my truck. I want the wide stance look on my truck when i get my new wheels.
