Need help picking tires for my sas

Im sure yall are tired of this question but I cant decide what kind of tires I want. My 4runner has 4" springs in the front 5" in the rear with a 3" body lift. I believe a 37" would be about the right size but im not sure. I am using a wagoneer D44 so I need somethin12.50-13" wide to help stay off the springs. I was looking at ssr's but I dont like the soft sidewalls, the tsl's run small, and the iroks wear to fast. So basically I want a tire that is a true 37X12.50X15 that will last for atleast 40,000 miles. Does one exist?

You should be able to run 40's with that much lift.

That tire width will keep you off the springs?

How about MT/R's? Toyos, Nittos, etc.

Irok Radials have done fine on the street, I have never head complaints that TSL's run small, almost all Super Swampers are honest.

Has anyone used the parnelli jones dirt grips? They look like a decent tire and are a little over 37"s.

Im running TSL's and my 36/12.5/15 are 36.8 tall. They have been great tires and i will get another set. The only thing i dislike is the set i have now is not round. The new set will be cause TSL is buying them back

That is far more lift than is needed for 37's as was pointed out.

As for a decent tire, the MTR or Nitto is what you are looking for if you plan to see road miles.

Flygtenstein you are right. It looks like something in the 38-40 range will fit better. I put my dads old 42" mud tires on to see if they would fit, they did.

the ltb's only go to a 34 and that would look really strange. The iroks wear WAY to quickly for me. They are a very soft compund and will not last with freguent street driving.

As far as I know they both use the smae compound. I went with sx which are also soft but not as soft as the iroks, but are not radials.
