Re: Experience going from 33" to 35" tires

How's about going from 35 to 33: When I pulled off the BF Junk Rich 35" AT and installed a set of 33" Bridgestones on my truck, what a major difference. The ride was just way to smooth. Was like riding in a Cadilac. The 35" BFGs required soo much in wheel weights that the vehicle weight went down. The balance on the Bridgestones was almost perfict and required very little in wheel weights.
IMO- stick with 33" and stay away from BFG.....

Re: Experience going from 33" to 35" tires

Yea. I have 33 bfg's on one of our broncos and 35's on the other. There is no comparison between the 35 bfg's and 35 toyo's. Toyo's win hands down on ride and are quieter in my opinion not to mention much more durable in a jagged rock driving environment. Still have tread on the Toyo's and well into the second set of bfg. Same conditions and use. Better sidewall protection too. Always thought the bfg's were best til we tried Toyo.
God I sound like a Toyo rep

Have a good Mermorial Day weekend and dont forget about taking a moment to pray for all those that have GIVEN IT ALL for us.

Re: Experience going from 33" to 35" tires

Again, thanks for all the replies. I'll probably make the jump to 35", but will get a little more out of the 33" tires I have first (I only have 23k miles on them). I looked at the one tire I was questioning a little closer and think it will be fine for my upcoming trip. I also hate to toss the other three that have so much life still in them.
