I am still running 3.55's It does between 1750 and 2k going down the road at 65-70. I am getting bad MPG but it is not becuase of the 31's. Long story which still isnt solved yet. I think I may have slowly found what it is, but another story for another time. I would go 4 10's. I will get them when i got to 33's

Well, don't forget to factor in that extra travel of the larger tire into your gas mileage. New tire size to old tire size ratio multiplied by gas mileage=actual mileage. Unless you properly re geared your odometer to compensate already.
