Hey,
I have a set of 35x12.5r15 Baja Claws on my GQ SWB. Currently has 2 inch lift and doesn't rub... I understand these tyres are small for 35's (around 34.5 with good tread) and they on'y have 5mm of tread on them. I am in the market for a new set and have been toying around with different budget options...
Silverstone 117 Sports 33x12.5 (quoted $220ish)
Silverstone 117 Extreme 33x10.5 or 35x11.5 (quoted $289 for the 35's)
Federal Cougaria M/T 35x12.5 (quoted $270)
:1087:
I really love the look of the sports but they don't come in 35". I understand i might need a guard chop if i upgrade to new 35's but my question is what will be the impacts offroad. Is there really a discernable difference using 35's as apposed to 33's?
will the 1" of diff clearance they give make that much of a difference?
Also i am open to suggestions of different budget tyres, and also would be interested if anyone knows a brand that makes cheaper 34" tyres.
Thanks!
