I know Nittos are very heavy tires so the weight difference alone per tire could help me out if I go with the 33’s. I believe the Nittos it has on now are said to be 78lbs new.
Those tires look nice, like a well priced BFG KO2 hybrid tire! I have 285/55 and it looks slightly bigger than stock...but not by much. You will want the 33's I think coming from 35's! You will absolutely get an mpg increase. Still won't be what the stock truck gets through running some p-metrics..

That’s what I was thinking I think going from the 35 to the 33 would be better I’m hoping to get about 15 mpg normal driving.

you could always re gear with 35s to restore fuel economy

Yes but I’m not really looking into doing that as of right now. I think I’m definitely going with the 33’s for my next tire.
