Like what G-Unit mentioned, it does depend on what your vehicle is used for.

If It's your everyday car than yes, 35's will be a waste but if its your weekender 4x4 than you can get away with it.

Not sure if anyone has noticed this in the last few years but a lot of people are on 35's and 37's.

I went to some old tracks out Toolangi way a while back and my 33's just wern't cutting it.

A lot of the tracks were bogged out with 37" tyres from the locals and it made that day a nightmare.

In fact i spent all day bypassing favourite spots and winching out like a mad man.

The next question is, do i keep up with the pace and get 37's so i can access these tracks?

What happens next, does everyone upgrade again until the tracks are inaccessible...haha

I was trail bike riding in Toolangi a couple of years ago, just near Marginal Track, and the rocky stairs. Along came a group of guys in borderline comp cars and proceeded to chew up evry mud hole they could find with 35's and 37's. makes it hard for the average owner to enjoy the area, so much so that if continues too much, They will just close the roads of to emergency services only, grade the roads, and you and I won't be gettin back in there again.
If evryone had 33's it would maybe be a challenge, but still be passable, and enjoyable.
I have 33's and not found anywhere I can't go !

That's because you probably know how to drive properly mate!! Amazing what a difference it makes when you know where to point the vehicle - top stuff!!

As per the last post, throw up an intro in the introductions section mate and let us know a little about yourself and the rig - welcome aboard!!

Been having that same problem deciding between 33 and 35 , sure 35's would look tuff and my truck would wear them with no prob's (5"lift), thing is they will not get me, my family and my boat any further than 33's, they will not increase clearance more than the width of an average carpenters thumb, the extra cost will cover that new compound bow I've been looking at plus I can afford 6 of them not 5!!!

Agree with the posts above.

I have 35's on my patrol. I love them, but they are wasted being on the road as much as mine are. I'm just too lazy to change them.. but also, my other set are 31" tyres and they are pretty rooted. One day i'd like to save the money to buy a good set of 33's.
Unless you're doing really hardcore tracks or competitions of some kind, 33's are all that you need. There have been instances where guys with 33" tyres have out driven guys with 35's purely based on skill. So in other words.. 35" tyres won't make you drive tracks any better or get you further. Hope this helps.

ps: my 35's throw my speedo out around 7-10/kmh.. so if the speed limit is 60, i usually do 50 on the speedo.

The best bushes are genuine bushes..
That's for all joints..
