    I have a 2016 SR 2.7l I4 and I plan on getting 35,s for it. Does anyone have any experience with 4.88 and 5.29 gears? Which is better? I’m both MPG and power? I will mainly be used as a daily driver, a lot of highway use and occasionally the trails.

    4.88’s seem to be the consensus. I’d seriously look financially on cost effectiveness of a daily beater than making a 2.7 w 35’s a daily highway traveler

    I have 4.88s with 295/70/17s (a true 33") on my 2.7L, and I wish I would've gone 5.29. Power is there, but offroad it would be nice to have more low end torque that the 5.29s provide. Hwy mpgs will suffer though, so that's something to take into consideration.

    4.88s will work, 5.29s would be better
