295/60 trails are almost a 35 inch tire, so no. I went from stock 18s which are like 30 inches tall to these, and nothing happened here. I don't believe the 2wd would make a difference, as I think the ops truck is also. Only difference would be less BHP and heavier curb weight.
What about when you tow on your stockers? Does it still behave the same way? Because a load behind the truck exhibits a lot more strain than bigger tires.
Also to each their own on tuning a N/A engine. There really isn't much to be gained besides a slight change in throttle response and adjustments of shift points. So, suggesting this is normal is not remotely true as I've never heard this happening unless something was wrong.
Can't find stock 20 inch info, but the mavs weigh 32 pounds

Thanks for the help guys. Wonder if anybody has tried a claim w the 5 star Warranty yet? Be interested to know?

This actually got me thinking now? If it shifts normally while towing under heavy strain w stockers, does the tow haul button have anything to do w this? Is it changing the shift points like a tuner would? Now that I think about it that's exactly what it feels like it does. If so then no doubt I need a tune for the mudder's.

Read that it downshifts downhill to spare your breaks duh! But yes I also read it changes shift points and keeps the gear longer. Cool, no wonder there were no issues towing.
