I would probably do 37s if I was to ever run that setup. I think it would be easier on the tranny and CVs. If only there was a solid axle available.
Also, that tire better last 30,000 miles at the least or I would be pissed because they are pricey.

I'm not entirely concerned with how long the tires last, lol...

I just want quality and low road noise, which I have received with these Toyos.

I do love zipping around in this truck tho! Got the 35s to break loose today. This 6.2L has some power behind her!

lee, calm the F down bro... you're scaring the other members. :Handshake:

Those Toyo m/T's are good for atleast 50k, I know multiple people who have got 70k on them. Now they were worn down to damn near slicks but, I had 65k on my 38's when I sold the truck they still had about 7-8/32nds on them. 2 guys have about 70k on them with 12-13/32nds which is more than half life. Just some info for ya, I no you said your didn't really care how many miles they got.

^^^ I've had many tires in the past and after owning these toyo mt's, I'm never getting anything else!! If I ever go 6"/35's I'm buying the same tires.

I am on 20s wrapped in 35s and 6" suspension.

I should have said make some wooden wheels. It was funny in my mind.

Now 30s on a lifted crown Vic is retarded.

24s on 35+ on a big truck is fine. Best friend had 24 Alcoa semi wheels on his lifted f350 dualy.

Lol that's why I was confused when you posted because you do have a 20/35 setup. 30s on anything is just asking for trouble and begging for attention.
I would be amusing to see a 40" tire that can fit 26s though.

That's good to know. I have a friend with Nitto mud grapplers and those things are noisy and wore down pretty quick. The first time I rode with him I was like what the hell is making that sound.

Yeah the mud grapplers are not my favorite, the Toyos are awesome just like stated by everyone else, they are super quite are very very smooth. When I had my 38's I didn't even balance them until the first rotation and there was no noticeable difference in fact the worst one only took 4.5 ounces. The only negative about them is they are super heavy and can cost on mpg's but guys like us don't usually worry about a couple mpg's. especially if your on 37"+

The nitto mud grappler is a noisy ass tire my friend has them on his nbs z71 and I would never run them just because of how noisy they are.
