    Im not quite sure exactly, i have headers and wonder how much that would affect the mileage. Id think you would be getting a little better mileage with the 32's on right now

    After i get some new slippers on my truck ill figure out exactly what my mpg is

    So they're just slightly larger than 31s, right?

    I think they look alright as is.

    265mm = width of tire

    75 = % of width = sidewall length

    1mm = 0.0394 in

    So your tire is 10.441 inches wide

    Your sidewall is 198.75 mm = 7.8 in

    Your rim is obviously 16 in

    Add two lengths of sidewall to that 16 in and you get: 31.66 in diameter tire

    Your tire is 31.7 x 10.4 in

    Well, after MUCH thought, I decided not to go too off-road aggresive with all the on-road traveling I do. So after reading some great reviews and talking to friends, I went with the new COOPER Discoverer A/T3. supposed to be an awesome balance of on/off road capability! Now I can't wait to get 'em to MOAB and in the SNOW!! Only way to truly know...

    I would never mod my truck like that, so I'll live vicariously through you and yours.

    It's placed against the fender and the thicker piece of wood is run along the inside edge of the fender. The other piece is notched at 1 3/4" where I could hold the pen.:eek:

    And I also removed my carrier bearing spacer that I installed yesterday. Vibes were worse with the spacer. :(
