Tires and tint

1st--Right now on my manual 91' pickup i have 31" tires on it and will be needing new ones within the next couple of months. Instead of putting another set of 31's on i was planning on putting 33's, would my BONE STOCK pickup be able to push them without changing anything.

2nd--what is a good website to find good pre cut window tint for my truck. 1991 extra cab

yes, you could push 33's but you will notice a lack of power.

no idea about the tint. i did a buddy's camaro, we just put the tint on the window and cut it to size. no biggie

with 33's on my 87 22re 4runner it was kind of like driving a turd. not horrible, but now worth it IMO for a daily driver. I went back to a 30x9.50 and I get 22 mpgs and decent power.

also, for pre cut tint i dont know, but a decent shop shouldnt charge you more than 60 bucks for two front windows

Looks aside, the only cool thing about my old 33s on a stocker was the stability it gave me on interstate off ramps.

There was a lot of bad, however-slow acceleration, slow braking, fast wear on my front end components, getting low teens for MPG in a gutless vehicle...and so on.

I'm a window tinter and would say have a shop do it! It's not rocket science, but for not much more than a precut kit, a pro will do a lot better job than you can on ur own!

Im not for sure on the bigger tires.... but the window tint. you can do it on your own. Just gotta try it and keep working at it. I started it on my first vehicle and every vehicle i owned since then i put it on there. the tint on my truck is 5%. its tricky to see out of at night. I think its addicting to do!
