    Going from 16 to 17 inch rim size allows the driver to go from 70 to 65 or 65 to 60 in the aspect ratio of the tire. That makes a discernible difference. The aspect ratio and width are interrelated. All this of course assumes you are comparing the same make and model tire. I would not slight the effect of one inch on the rim size and it's affect on handling.

    It looks the same from the rear. What are you talking about?

    The photos were all shot on an iPhone because I lost my camera battery charger. The iPhone does take decent photos in the snow.

    I don't plan to lift the truck. Since the tires don't rub, and I like the ride. The stock suspension is perfect for any trails I plan on driving up.

    Yeah, I was mostly in 4H, and it almost felt like driving in the rain. No slipping or sliding at ALL. I did try all of the other modes as well. In 4L, there's no traction control (I didn't know), so it's easy to spin all 4 tires (which is fun). While you can get away with driving in rear wheel drive mode, 4H felt significantly safer. 4H works so well that I would trust my wife, even though she never drove in the snow. But in 2WD mode I would not.

    You wrote inside my quote.

    It also has a locker in the rear. That's better than any crawl control. Your sport has a weak version of ATRAC that will help you get out of stucks

    Mine is a manual, so it doesn't actually have the crawl control feature. But yeah, as Z50King mentioned, there's a rear locker.

    C-rated, as a general rule, costs less & weighs less. In my experience, you'll get a much rougher ride with E-rated tires and it will hurt MPG because of the extra weight.

    Has anyone weighed those 17x7 TRD pro wheels? Just wondering what the difference is between my 16's. They weighed 24lbs.
