Anyway, I'm a little concerned about the mileage drop that I'm sure to have with 35's, and am wondering how practical it would be to keep a set of 31 street tires on the stock wheels for daily driver use, and then throw on the 35's for wheeling trips.
The accomplishment here is 2-fold:
1) Get great gas mileage for driving to work
2) Stretch the life of those ridiculously expensive 35's by using them sparingly

In reality I don't think you will ever take the 35s off once they're on.

I know how you feel. I run 37's humvee beadlocks wheeling and swap back to my 35's sometimes just to save the weight and it does help the MPG.... But it gets old swapping them out for sure.
