35in. tires
For those of you with 35s, honestly what kinda power loss will I be looking at? 35s look great, but I drive alot on and off freeways everyday. Should I go with a more aggressive 33 than stock or jump to the 35s? The truck has enough power for daily driving now, just don't want any less

Re: 35in. tires
For street use, consider gearing changes to go with the 35's. If you think the acceleration is just adequate now, then you will be disappointed. But they do look cool.
Somebody probably has already calculated the gearing impact of going from 32's to 35's and it is significant.

Re: 35in. tires
The 35's are a MUST HAVE!!!
Yeah, it may be a wee bit slower off the line but its not a drag racer so thats no big deal. 315's make the truck. 
OBTW - If you're going to wheel the truck and have mud anywhere in your plans DO NOT get BFG AT KO's! Trust me on this.

Re: 35in. tires
If most of your driving is on the freeway. 35s will cost in mileage, torque loss, and considerably poorer handling. I think we'll see over $4/gal for gas by years end, so figure that into your choice. And 35s will aggravate the "floaty" feel at freeway speeds thats already pronounced with 33s.
IMO, there would be too many important compromises for cosmetics. The novelty of the 35s will wear thin when it feels like the suspension is by Sealy Posturpedic and you see the cost at the pump going higher. Bottom line is that hardly anyone but you will notice 35s anyway. Unless you do a lot of offroad, I advise sticking with the 33s.

Re: 35in. tires
35's let you climb high and lean heavy. Great off road. Of course it's like driving pulling an open parachute on the highway. Had 33's and wouldn't go back. I just drive and enjoy the view.........

Re: 35in. tires
Hi all. It's my first post, but have been lurking for a while.
nE wayz... 35's ARE CRAP! You guys are turning your nice trucks into back woods junk yard garbage dumpsters.
It's just for looks and besides, don't get me started on acceleration, gas milage and diffs.
Take it from me, stock is all you need. Spend your money on a nice rack or some other accesories if you want to personalize
