I'm gonna try for 33s, but they might not fit when the suspension sags later. Probably 31s just to be safe. How much worse is the gas mileage with bigger tires? It's not going to stop me from getting them though.

How did you mount the shovel? I had one mounted on the side of my roofrack and after wheeling today i noticed one of the self tapping screws was missing and the mount was just hanging there and the other screw was half way out...it could have been a bad day for someone behind me as I went 80mph home

My gas mileage went from 16 city (w/ BF Goodrich Long Trail T/A 215/75/15) to 12-13 city (w/ BF Goodrich All Terrain 31/10.5/15). So I basically lost 3-4 mpg, which sucks but is totally worth it.

I went from 15-16mpg stock to 14-14.5 not too much difference. I have 31's mud terrain
