No. It's very tolerable in Florida. There's a slight loss of power, but nothing I can't deal with. If I did ever re-gear, 4.10's would be just fine. The 300 hp 3.6 helps out a lot.

What is the metric size for a 33" and 35"? Because I know of a 285/305/315.

For 17s, 255/80 is 33.1/10.0
285/70 is 32.7/11.2
285/75 is 33.8/11.2
305/70 is 33.8/12.0
315/70 is 34.4/12.4

The fact that you're considering the two means you need to get 35's. Get 33's and you'll end up wanting 35s a month later. I did the same thing when debating 35s and 37s.

Go 35 now or you will regret it... Everyone who has owned trucks or jeeps does every time you roll past one with 35's.... 2.5 TF with 35's
