Sorry, i brought up fuel economy, it was a guess/suggestion, nothing more ;) Dusten, you've done well for yourselves - so far as ride is concerned, you'll get worse from the larger tyres, it's physics.

If you deviate from the stock sizing, 99% of the time, it will be a compromise, just something to bear in mind.

I will say that my Goodyears were crap, they didn't have much tread left on them, but the bigger issue was the random wobbling at higher speeds. I'm not kidding either, i thought it was out of balance wheels, but the wobbling wasn't regular enough, it was bad sidewalls on the tyres.

Anyway, seems the dampers go out a lot on these smaller trucks, replacing mine seriously improved the ride.

Lastly, just in case anyone thinks this; tyres are not sold with how many miles they can do, ever, never have been. In America, the mileage warranty is shoved up front and people led/let(?) believe it's how long the tread lasts.

Sorry, no deal, it's just a warranty on manufacturers defects, nothing more, some are higher than others due to construction quality/type etc.
