35`s are a good choice, you would have noticed a much bigger change with 37`s vs 35`s, as I did!
As previously mentioned, the more aggressive the tread and the heavier the load the faster the tire wear!
A Pedal Commander cured the slow roll off to the point I hardly notice the 37`s off the line or when towing our 7600lb travel tailer..
I have been thinking of getting another PC for this one. Had one in my '15 just to help with the 6 speed quirks. I've never really felt the need now with the 8 speed, but who knows- that may change now.

I had one on my 6speed pw for many years, and took it off within the last year and like it better off. I was hoping it would miraculously cure or at least make this pos trans a smidge better, but it didnt. Been thinking about tossing it in the half ton work truck (8speed) just to see what it does for that.

Just wanted to dredge this up- I LOVE THESE TIRES! They are smooth and soak up the wash board and bumps like it's not even there. I took it out into the field coyote hunting and they scratched and clawed through 12"+ snow (24"+ in a few spots) without hesitation. These buggers are heavy (like was mentioned earlier) and you sure notice it. As for mileage hit- yeah, pretty sure I took a hit but I can't say how much since I think my original tire calibration was off from factory? It was 33.05. On a stretch that I know always uses 1/8th tank no matter what I still used that 1/8th tank. We'll see. My average at highway speed (110km/h) is now 16-18 l/100km and before was 14-16 l/100k real time. That said, it's now -20° so I suspect that doesn't help, and they haven't had many miles to "bake". For some reason my Eco kicks in a lot more often now, can't really explain why. After calibrating to 34.5" the speedo exactly matches three GPS readings.


Thanks everyone for the advice!
