You can run 40" tires on a Dana 30 if you really want but I wouldn't recommend it. The biggest problem is that with 40's, you really want to be running 5.38 gears and with the setup you're wanting to run, that'll leave you with a really small pinion in the 44. More than your housing or shafts, this is where I'd see a break happening especially with such big tires and that'll leave you having a bad day.
Thanks! You've been out on some of these obstacles and so you know what they're like. The tires really do get the job done and nicely :yup:
LOL!! Gotta love working on bead locks :crazyeyes:
There isn't anything online for the 40's yet but here's a quick comparison of price between a 37" STT Pro and a Trail Grappler.
Cooper Discoverer STT Pro 37x13.50R17
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_...37x13.50x17&sprefix=cooper+stt+pro+37,aps,213
Nitto Trail Grappler 37x12.50R17
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...37x12.50x17&qid=1456782952&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
The tires are so big they needed an entire tractor trailor to themselves.
:cheesy: I think that was about the reaction that we had :crazyeyes:
If you can believe it, about 15 psi. There's no way in hell we could get our Toyos to squash out and wrap around rocks like this with anything more than 8 psi. It's all in the design of the tire.
LOL!! I'll have to get a shot of Moby with his 40's next to Renny with his 225 :crazyeyes:
Those Coopers look fantastic! Great video, thank you for sharing.
Thanks! We're glad you liked the video and we absolutely LOVE these tires :yup:
Nice :thumb: must have felt like Christmas morning seeing that truck delivering those massive tires
You know it! Truck came in late Friday and had a few projects we were working on so we couldn't start working on the tires until Saturday afternoon. By Sunday morning, we had all the wheels dismounted and had them installed on our new Coopers by that afternoon. And, as you can see, we immediately went to the mall to test them out :yup:
Thanks! It sure is nice to have a place like it just down the street to test things out :yup:
I'm sold......next set are STT Pro's albeit in a smaller euro legal size....
I think you'll like them a lot.
Honestly, I'm not sure either. Probably because they don't have any rockstars pimping them. :crazyeyes: Cindy and I really loved the look of them when we first saw them and we're so glad that we gave them a try. We really do love them. :yup:
Funny you should ask, these 40's with their Range C load rating AND bigger sidewalls did make it a LOT easier to install and get it over the lip. As far as the $25 go, that's why I stopped dismounting my own tires.
LOL!! If you were to ask me almost 10 years ago what my Jeep could look like, I can assure you that what you see now, never came into mind. :crazyeyes:

Thanks for the Awesome video. Love the look of the Cooper STT Pro's on Moby. That is some serious sidewall flex.
Nice job on the video showing the process of replacing tires with beadlock wheels.

:cheesy: yep, that's about it :icon_crazy:
Thanks! After seeing how well they performed on Rubicat, we knew we had to get a set for Moby :yup:
Ya know, only 2 of the 5 tires made the "pop" and even at that, it was just a tiny one. I don't know if it's because the lip of the tire is so thick or something with the wheels but we did try catching it on film and missed it :idontknow:
Thanks! Glad you liked it. I just wish my local Discount Tire would help me out instead of trying to explain to me what they can't do as if I'm some kind of an idiot. I mean, I get that you aren't allowed to work on vehicles with wheel spacers or install tires on bead locks but all I wanted was for them to dismount my already broken down tires from the wheels. Your guys literally tried telling me how this was impossible in spite of the fact that I've done this countless times. I am sad to say that 2 of your competitors in my town have been far more welcoming, knowledgeable and eager to help.

Great video, tires look great!!
Stinks to hear that about Discount Tire, my local store here game me a few lines about safety and upgrading to 40s on my Jeep and basically wouldn't sell them to me so I had stuck with 37s. Still good service, just wish they would keep opinions to themselves.
