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.
