I have 37" MT/R's, I probably always will on this truck.

I had 35" X-terrains on my 86 pickup. They are not a bad tire at all, especially for a vehicle that sees a good amount of street use. Very practical tire and they wear extremely well. The sidewalls are fairly tough. I managed to rip one sidewall but that tire had seen alot of abuse.
You will be happy with the tires.

I agree...the 3.slow is bad enough with the 33x10.5's...I cant imagine it with 35's
Hopefully on tuesday I will get the new tires mounted.

I will keep my stock wheels until they become a problem...They are a little chewed on the edges that made the weights a little harder to put on.
I will get a front shot. The sun was behind the truck when i took those pics.

I love it. Rather than rush out and post a bleached pic, you are getting good light, that giggles me.
Looks good. Really gives a concept of how low some of you guys have gotten when 33's don't look outrightly foolish. That other black one has 32's even!
Your wheel wells look better Marc. Digging the truck.
