    I know it has been discussed at length, but...specifically for a 2014 manual 2.7 5 lug, how much power will be lost going from 215,s (hate them) to 235 75 15? I am definitely up sizing and it's that or 225 75 15. I tow a pop up or occasional two wheel trailer, live in mostly flat Ohio, but do spend some time at interstate speeds. Mpg is less an issue than potential power loss. I have read many posts, but they often don't state if manual or auto. Indecision is killing me. Just don't want to regret a decision for 50,000 miles! Help!

    Got a lot of stuff lol
    When I went up in size I switched to aluminum rims and it dosnt feel like I lost any power. I drive like a rally driver so I would have noticed if there was some lost. Also if you haven't already I'd pull the secondart coal filter out and replace the main filter with a afe pro dry.

    I have already removed secondary filter, but still have oem main air filter. I will be sticking with original rims as well so would like to hear how this affects potential power loss with manual, reg. cab, 2.7 going to 235 or 225 75 15. Aluminum rims would make a big difference I would suspect. I am not changing rims as I don't want additional cost with rims and tpms. Any others with input? Thanks!!
