Sometimes I wish I went with those tires, I am starting to make some trips to Tahoe and I don't know how confident I am in the trail grapplers on ice/snow. That will probably be my next set since I've heard all god things about the duratracs (just wish they made 295/70!).

Glad you like it though! I had these tires on the stock 18s then switched to aftermarket and saw no reason to go to 20s and get new tires, I'm glad i I stuck with this size. Although 20s look great too.

Thanks!

i saw the most effect on the mpg, there was a bit of power loss but not too bad. I think having the 3.73 rear end helps out quite a bit when going to bigger tires. With the CAI and exhaust and programmer though its AT LEAST as fast/powerful as it was stock, if not more. Still super fun to drive

I think it's 3.31 if I'm not mistaken? I may be haha.

Either way I know you can get new gears if you have the money.

Looks good, but fuel mileage must have gone through the toilet
