Just got my 285/75/16 Cooper STmaxx tires installed (yesterday) with center lugs syped, fills in the wheel wells much better than the old tires did... 30.5" vs 32.8" tires!
Also added to my running light blinker mod. I have switchback LED bulbs that I modded into my corner lights a while ago when I did my bumper. Well it seemed people were having thouble seeing my blinker or something so I added these 600mm LED strip Ebay special strips. When the lights are off they just blink Amber like a normal blinker but when the lights are on they flash between amber and white.

Oh yeah! I can feel the 20lbs more weight per tire going to these 33s! Thinking about doing a regear now with the armor and the tires...

The 33s made a big difference for me too. I had 3.73 gears originally. Motor had to work really hard. I found a calculator that showed 4.10 gears would put my rig back to spec worth 33's. I went 4.56 anyhow since I had all the added weight and planned for more and possibly 35 some day.
