X3 on 315's.
Just curious, but how bad would the stock gearing do with 315's?? I have 285 now and there is too much gap with the 3" lift. But the power still seems there and not to bad.
i have 305 70 16's and they look awesome on a stock truck with a 3" lift i would get 315's unless your like in some super high altitude and you dont want to regear.

I've had my 315s on for about a month now. I'm ok stock gearing. It's a bit sluggish off the line and up steep hills but that's it. I say go big or you'll be mad you didn't.
is it ok to do the 305/70 in a stock suspension no lift?
Yes. * WITH STOCK WHEELS. You will get a little rubbing at full compression, but no damage. Ran this on trails before my first lift. If you run wheels set further out - then you will hit the sheet metal potentially.
Thank you, just wondering if the gas milage will be very different, if no I will go for it
305's are heavier tires with more rolling resistance. Gas mileage will suffer. Tread type matters. IMHO, AT's run 1-2mpg worse than Michelin street tires, and MT get 1-2 worse than that. I get between 10.5 and 12.5 MPG running MT.
I am going KO3s ATs... did you feel any real difference offroad with the wider tires? I don't do heavy offroad, mostly gravel...
Honestly, no. With 295s you are going for the stout look. For general off roading / light crawling, there is no difference, IMHO. But now I run pizza cutters... 255/85/16 that sit 2" inside the fenders...
something to think about then... my other option is 285/75, I am restoring a set of OEMs, thinking white letters for the retro look... the one in my profile is gone
traded for a green collectors....
