Like I'm at 32 but it seems pretty rough. I don't think I can go as low as some of these guys running 35s. I'm on 285-70-17s on 9"wide wheels. I think I'll brink her down to like 29 and see what it does.

Oh yeah that shouldn't be a problem at all.

Yeah totally. Everything was cool til I got an oil change and they put em to 37. I don't remember what they were at before, I didn't think it was much lower but it felt way better. 32 is still much rougher than it was do I was just looking for early warning signs of whatever before I start dropping my 33s into the 20s.
