33s power loss (Yes or no)

Guys if you want to go fast go get a corvette. We all know why we got these trucks, to get laid and go wheeling.
33's for the last 3 years here and I wont be regearing.

 

I lost about 1-2mpgs when switching. I'm mostly at 16mpgs now, but can squeeze 17. I used to get 17-18 and could squeeze 19.

265s

255s

 

255/85/16's here with steel wheels, I noticed a difference at first but I got used to it I drive pretty slow. I hope in the near future to get arb lockers so I will regear to 4.30 or 4.56 at the same time, my truck isn't a daily driver so fuel mileage and power aren't a real concern.

The elevation where I live is about 6000' so that is one of the reasons I would like to regear.

 

Sig line material right there.

 

I don't want to go fast like a Corvette but I don't want to go slower than a Nissan Versa either.

 

Hit the gas then baby!!!

 

Do you work for the Exxon?

 

No, but I wouldn't let a Nissan Versa take me any day of the week

 

​

I really wouldn't worry about power loss or regear unless you want 35s.

 

Exactly my thoughts. When the time comes for 35's or 37's, I'll regear and enjoy having that power back then.

 

The bad thing about Corevettes is you need 2.

Can't change your oil with only one ramp

 

Had 265/70/17 added armor wasn’t to bad got some more height with 255/80/17 my truck is a slug now does the speed limit just fine but forget passing.

 

The problem is that I live in FL and traffic in this place is hell! I have to drive in highways regularly, so, a slow vehicle is very dangerous here around so many crazy drivers.

 

The funny thing is that there is not really a huge difference between those tires, because you increased the height but reduced the width. This shit with tires is pretty weird!

 

Moar Armor !!!! Maybe slow but well protected nobody wants to swap paint with heavy gauge steel. I can keep up with traffic just fine just gotta push the go pedal a little further.

 

My rental car was a Versa a few months ago... it was indeed faster than my Taco!

 

It’s the weight E range tires compared to C.
