tire Q

[Jimmy619]

sorry if this has been asked before. i have a chance to trade my 35inch MT tires for four 95% tread 37inch TOYO MT tires. my truck has a 6 inch lift. will there be any problems with rubbing or anything like that? Also will i loose alot more power, seeing that the tires are heavier and harder to turn? thanks for any advice in advance

Will they clear with No trimming? Probably not . But should clear with minimal trimming.

What gears do you have now? There will be a significant loss in power. Its a taller tire, thats a lot heavier.

stock 3.73 :/

You gosta trim the fenders....

so im guessing with stock gearing the truck will be pretty gutless. right?

Well it will be gutless yes, I have 33" tires on mine and it feels gutless with 3.73 gears.
The good news is your th350 can handle the stress, if you want to keep it like this for little bit, if you had a 700 like me youd be killing it.
I say stay with the 35" tires for now.

I have 37 inch Toyo MT's on a 91 Blazer with a 6 inch lift and stock 3.42's and it sucked. No power and issues with the trans over heating in stop and go during the summer and extended hills. It's currently in the shop getting 5.13's installed. Can't wait to see the difference.

I had 35s with a 6in lift and upgraded to 37s. If your just driving it. should be fine. but any wheeling , It will trash the fenders.

way under geared for 37s

nice graphical picture of where you should be geared for tire size.
