x2 the 35's and 4.10's are very livable, you just have to downshift alot more on long hills to keep the little 6 happy.

When I weighed my KM2s on aluminum wheels vs Hankooks on steel wheels, they Hankook/steel was 30 lbs heavier EACH!
That's like having an extra chick in the back all the time, and you're forced to slow down...........

Do they make 40's for a 17 or 18 inch wheel? I didn't see anything smaller than a 20 listed.

That's not really much different than 35s on 15s....if I could afford the larger rim/tires I wouldn't hesitate on 20s
