I've been driving around for a little less than a year with 35" tires and 3.21 gears, 6 speed manual, and I find I could live with it if I had to. Around town it is a 3 speed, and never needed 6th. Gas mileage sucks though. 14 mpg. Have taken it offroad couple times and it worked. That being said, I'm trying to figure out if I can regear this year or wait until next. Thinking hard about 5.13's

Duratrac 64lbs
KM2s 64lbs
A little misleading though, the Duratracs in that size are load range E...The KM2s are load range D
The load rating has the most to do with the weight of the tire, best to find the lightest load rating that will fit your needs if looking to keep weight down.
