    Damn, I want tires like those. They look sharp!!! MT are the way to go and especially with the 285 size. Nice choice too.

    looks better with the 33s but I personally wouldn't go with those tires. Depends where your head is at.

    I like the 33's but mainly due to the tread. I don't think it would be a huge difference if you went from a 32" m/t tire to the 33" m/t tire looks wise.

    I do think the double cab long beds need a bigger tire, though to look proportional. They actually look the best imo with a 6" lift and 35's but I am not going there.

    But I don't want to! Keep the voices out of my head that keep chanting, "DO IT, DO IT." Make it stop mommy, make it stop.(currently sobbing and in the fetal position).

    I like the 33's. Would you have to re-gear with the 33's though?

    No. I actually like the feel of the 33's as well. I've lost a little acceleration, but the truck actually HOPS off the line with the bigger tires due to size and grip. I keep throwing my phone out of the center console everytime I punch the gas to get on the highway. One of these times I'm going to break it.



    WTF is that ugly roof rack doing on top of your truck :)

    Looks good Darwin. Much better than the other tires.

    Thank you all. Surely, it wasn't a mistake going to 33"s. The look was really the deciding factor. Now, I have to live with the cutting of fender liners and chopping the cab mount later on.:( But, that's alright. I knew about them before I jumped in to the 33 club.

    I have not enjoyed the new look and ride yet. I got the tires last Wed (11/25) but then I flew to Texas the next day for Thanksgiving. I can't wait to drive it again.:)

    Looks great both ways. I agree the long bed looks better with slightly larger tires. I'm not a real fan of the MTs but it does look kick butt and screams i don't give a flip about MPG!!

    The only thing I dont like is that pin strip; the truck looks great either way.
