I'm happy to say after asking the same questions that have been answered time and time again I no longer have to ask. I finally broke down and bought "real" tires. I was leaning towards a Pro Comp A/T or the Nitto Dune grappler or even the Toyo MT and in all different sizes. So I went to a local 4x4 shop and ordered 5 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's 315 75 R16. Sure you can all guess who had some influence on that decision since they were something I didn't think originaly look at. The only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner. Put them on yesterday and they look great.

.

I also found a link that will calculate the speedo change from one tire size to another

I know I know, let me say it

I will take and post soon as the rain stops.

To be honest with you I don't even know how I put that there. Have not started many posts. Sorry about that.

Congratulations. Now you did have to raise it a bit or adjust the torsion bars or something right? I have the adventure package with 33s, to go to 35s I think I have to adjust the torsion bars and I am not even sure what they are, hehe. I hear people talk about it all the time. Im not looking to do it anytime soon anyway so I guess it doesn't matter, but I will look into it when time and $$$ permits

I had the torsion bars cranked soon as I go it, but from reading you do have to in order to fit the 35's. I had the local 4x4 shop do it where i go he didn't charge but it is easy enough. Looked up this post, hope it helps you it has some good info on it.
