Howdy-
So I am in the market for something a bit more streetable than my Super Swampers... I am running Thornbirds (I know, I know) in 33x12.50
I am looking at a radial for sure, probably 35x12.50, and this rig is my daily driver. However, I do expect to see some fairly rugged trail use in Colorado and Utah. Mostly logging/fire roads, with some trips to slick rock. All the while running on the pavement.
I have 4" of lift and I am going to cut my virgin fenders out back. They rub really bad a fully articulation right now and 35" will not clear at all without it.
Is there any other real drawback for running 35's? I am wondering how my axles, brakes, and steering will react to such a big tire. My engine is fresh with plenty of power, but will I need to regear?
Thanks in advance.
