    Hummm..... Is that 260 highway miles as well? What's your usual cruise speed on the highway?
    :laughing:


    I drive like a 16 year old in a high school parking lot with a rental car... :anonymous:

    There really is no discernible difference between my trail speed or city speed.

    Yea I don't think mine was ever that much off..must be an 01-04 thing..cause your stock tires are actually just under 31s I think right?

    Lol only thing I'd be worried about is the rear diff. Other en that you'll be fine

    There are two stock tire size options for my truck. I'm running the larger option of 31s.


    Kind of an important thing to be worried about :(

    They probably end up being the same size in the end. Only true way is to measure the diamater of two of the same tires in those sizes, new, and then compute the height. I bet they come out pretty damn close though, close enough it's not worth arguing about! The manufactures never give you a real size.
