37" tires recommendations for 2500 ZR2?

[Rhsmike189]

Im pulling the trigger on getting some 37" installed along with the AEV 37" tire clearance kit/template kit made specifically for the non bison ZR2 along with some bora spacers for factory wheels. On the fence about tires options. I have 37" Ridge Grapplers on my f250 tremor that did very well all around however they didnt do very well at all in rain when I was traveling thru the Appalachians to Knoxville with those highways and roads. I make that trip regularly for work. So some wet weather performance is a requirement. I also have a farm and have to get thru wet grass and some gullys. I also pull a large 16x7 dump trailer to the dump maybe 2 or 3 times a month. Total weight no more then 10k pounds. My short list now is the toyo open country at3's. The Nitto Recon grapplers and the BFG k03s. The Ko3s are a load F the other two are E. I know a 12 ply may be stiff but I can lower pressures for daily driving down to I think 50 or 55 psi to soften it up. They seem like a great rated all around tire ratings wise, however ive read some that they dont wear well and ive heard they may have some balancing issues. Also learned they re-designed the K03 tire a year or so ago to account for some things. That being said I have no idea if the negatives are from old design or new. Me living in NC snow lake rated isnt the biggest deal, we get more ice then anything but not often. The Recon sounds like a great all around compromise for performance and looks. Anyway your guys feedback, votes or other contenders, would be appreciated.

Lots of threads on here that will likely give you some insight, search accordingly. I am a big KO3 fan having had Nittos and Toyos on multiple HDs. It’s not that any were “bad”, it’s just the K03s were best overall for my needs - primary use cases for me are daily driving, hunting all over Midwest and western states, beef farm, towing heavy, camping and hiking spots. All my tires have been 33 or 35’s though
