I am looking at switching from 265/75 to 285/35's. I've trimmed a bit with the present tires and haven't had any problems. They are getting worn now.
Here's the question:
Should I be more concerned with tread pattern, ie. A/T's, M'T's, etc., or the size? Or both.
Your input is appreciated.

Well, do you typically run out of grip or clearance when you are offroad?
If you end up spinning tires without being hung up on your diff or axle, I would look for tire tread, etc. If you are constantly knocking the underbody, particularly the diffs, I would be concerned about tire diameter.
Of course, they are both important, but I would focus on the one that is giving you the most trouble. |

I haven't had any problems thus far with the terrain I've been on. But I have also stayed fairly conservative as to not damage the vehicle too bad.
Nothing is negative about the size of tire I have now, don't get me wrong. I"m just looking at the pluses and minuses, if any, of going with a slightly larger tire size.
Other than that extra height to see inside the girls sunroof sitting next to me at the light. |
