That picture is of a Red label 37x12.50R17. They don't make a 35 in that tire. You also can't just go out and buy this tire from anywhere. Most tire shops have no idea what you're talking about when you say you want a red label. "You mean the General Grabbers?" Idiots.

That will last you for about 2 tanks of gas on the road. They aren't designed for the road.

You can get blue label Krawlers to drive on the road. They make a 35 blue label. Those still won't last that long.

They're by far the best offroad tire but only if you own a trailer.

Yeah, those things cost too dang much. Heck, for my tastes km2's are pricey enough...

Yeah, they're amazing tires. I see them used for between 1200-1500 frequently. I'll have a set eventually.

My buddy Brian has a set of red labels in 37's on his Yj. He is going up stuff he couldn't go up with his 37" Mtr's they are sticky. If I could afford an tow rig I'd have a set mounted on bead locks. On the Xj

one of the best rock tires out there. the only other tires in the same league are other stickies such as creepy crawlers or trepadors.

tough as hell, grip better than any street tire out there, not for pavement use, not cheap, limited sizes.

Thats pretty funny!! He obvisoly has never ran a set, because the sidewalls are weak. I've cut sidewalls on them before, but thats the only tire that I will run on my TJ.... I guess I dont have enough post to know anything about wheeling.

Well, if you knew how to wheel in your 01 TJ w/ 37" Red Labels, you probably wouldn't have cut the sidewalls.

As for your number of posts, that has nothing to do with it. KTM has shared a lot of knowledge on this site and has an established reputation. You have shared 1 opinion.

Again, I'll take KTM's word for it.

Yeah! You *******. Take that dumb YJ back over to Jeep Forum. You don't know what you're talking about.
