According RockCrawler.com BFG will make the Krawler avaiable in 35x13.50R15 and 37x12.50R17 early next year.
You can get them pre-cut (right) or blank and ready to carve yourself (left).
Too bad they are not coming in smaller sizes yet.

Chris, any idea what kind of mileage to expect from the Krawler?
It's time to look for 17" wheels I guess.

Very little I suspect. I would also not be surprised if they don't really balance very well. They are being marketed as an extreme tire for dedicated trail rigs.

Those tires look good but I personally would not want to be one of the first guys up here to have them,they aren't proven in mud(wich there is allot of here),no estimated road wear time,and I haven't even seen them in person yet.

i agree. the tires are ment to be used on comp rigs down in the states where wheel speed is important. the condition the tires does the best in is dry rock with lots of traction and with lots of wheel spin. it is ment to compete against the MTR in those same conditions. this is also why the rim size is so large (the target is competition rigs with bling)
for the various terrain and wet conditions up here the best tire is a swamper SX. i am sure anyone that has seen these tires work will agree. a cut SX is even better IMHO
