Default Holy ****!! These Dune Grapplers are Heavy!

Well today at work (I work as a package handler at UPS) I had to load 6 sets of Nitto Dune Grapplers on to the UPS Truck. They were 37x12.50R18!! They were insane. I wish I got those instead of my Toyos. They look sick! So eventually I will be getting those. I thought I would share that with you guys. lol

ive heard they are awesome in the sand, but not so great on the street, which makes them wear fast. but thats just hearsay, ive never owned a set. i see em all the time around here though.

i know the new trail grapps are 82 lbs each for the 35's. 37's are a little more. add the wheel and you're lookin at 100 lbs a corner. thats ridiculous. no wonder my civic gets 40+ mpg... its tires only weigh 25 lbs

I have a set and they look great on the truck, but they do weigh a lot!!!

They require 60 psi... I was wondering if other tires have such a high psi number?
