Those are definitely vintage looking, nice tires. Don't forget that you need 5 of them.

5 is better then 7 matching 37x12.50x17 for my jeep and trailer at $400.00 a tire.

which ones? they also have the Lug tires, which would look original either tire I want to run a taller close to 32" tire.

I think the ones in the link you posted above would be great. They would provide good traction and ride comfort, yet they have the profile of the lug tire. You get the classic look yet you won't compromise on performance, hopefully. :twocents-02cents:
