As you go up in ratings you get improved load carrying abilities and a beefier tire however due to the stiffer sidewall, offering little flexibility you can sacrifice ride quality and added unsprang weight. Here the application is key i. The larger diameter, width and circumference add to the unsprang weight which has a direct effect on fuel economy, performance, gearing and other drivetrain components.
Users who have made the switch have reported a decrease of anything between mpg when cruising on the highway and mpg when driving in the city. Of course, the trucks low-down torque and overall performance outputs plays a major factor and figures will vary from vehicle to vehicle.
Of course, re-gearing is key. Once you fit 35s it recommended to go with either the 5. Click here to get more detail on this topic. Here we strive to provide the most accurate, up-to-date, information about the functionality, common faults and latest technology built into most 4 Wheel Drives.

Actual advertised tire height and tread width will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer for specific p-metric tire sizes.
All tires are required to have certain information molded into the side of the tire in a location known as the sidewall. Some of the information is self explanatory while other information requires a little knowledge to decipher.
The following will help you understand what this information means. Tire Type — This Defines the intended proper use of the tire. P indicates this is a passenger car tire while LT indicates the tire would be for a light truck with a heavier load rating. Tire Width — This is the width of the tire measured in millimeters from sidewall to sidewall.
An example might be representing millimeters. To calculate the aspect ratio, multiple the first number e. Using the example numbers the tires aspect ratio would calculate as x. This is the height of the rubber from rim to tread on one side of the tire. To convert the aspect ratio to a full tire height in inches, do this: Convert the above calculated tire height aspect ratio in millimeters to inches by multiplying the millimeters by.
Then take the inches and multiply by two and add the rim size. Example: 5. Construction — This indicates how the how the tire was put together and will say much about the tires handling characteristics. R indicates the tire is a radial type tire.
