It has been a while since I updated my thread. I have really enjoyed driving the 40, but I have never been completely happy with the tires. I know a lot of people like the 33X10.5X15 on stock wheels, but I just love the way a skinny tire looks on these rigs. I guess I am just old school. Thanks to @Michael Hanson for helping me spend some money!
A couple of weeks ago I bit the bullet and bought a set of 16" steel wheels from @Racer65 and today I put on a set of BFG AT 235/85/16 tires. It has transformed the vehicle. The steering is way easier, no need to consider PS now. It is 50% quieter on the highway and 65mph is comfortable. Is it better off road? Probably not, but that suits me fine as I will not be getting into much heavy off roading. The look is perfect, for me. Here are some before and after shots:
