Why 235?

Interesting article on the subject.

 

Interesting... I think I corner too hard to go narrow tires.

 

I ordered 235's. I only got the picture of them in the garage. I'll have to double check when I get home.

 

There's really only a negligible difference in lateral grip. A wider track makes more difference in corning stability.

Plus I like the look of the 235's.

 

Yea i need more grip in corners I haven't figured out its a truck and not a sports car yet...

 

I drive like a turtle. I just barely keep up with traffic. I also have a DCSB with a 2.7L that I converted to 4x4. I'm not exactly stacked with extra HP's.

 

Lol yea I ended up getting the V6 the second time around... Much more powerful then the 4cly. Even driving like a sports car I still get better milage then I did in the 4.

 

How many MPG's do you get? I'm averaging about 22-23 mpg's mixed driving, even after the 4x4 conversion.

 

My average is low 17 in my 4 I was getting around 14-15 but I was dogging the hell out of it too. This one I don't have to dog as much because of the power. My worst mpg in the 4 was 12.3 in the 6 is 15.9 from my trip to Greenridge.

 

I was lucky to see 300 miles to a tank in the 4. I was usually filling up under a 1/4 with 220miles on it. The 6 I have yet to not make it to 300 on a tank. Both were running Shell or Sunoco unless I couldn't help it.

 

The lowest I've seen in mine is 19.5 and that was loaded down to the bump stops (full bed of camping gear for week with 3 ppl and a baby) all the way to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and back.

 

Yea i should slow down in mine Lol

 

On that trip we did at least 75 mph the whole time. Much of it we did 80. It was hard to stay going that fast on some of the hills being completely loaded down. 4-cylinder problems. The thing I don't like about the 4-banger is the transmission, not the engine. I got the auto (always had manuals before this) and it shifts to high gear too soon. If I manually shift through the gears, it scoots along pretty good.

 

Let me know how you like those, im considering going to them in LT - E since i need the fronts replaced anyway

 

Went with 20% tint. I think it turned out pretty well.

 

Decided to see what it would look like with a tip.

 

Much better.
