Something that i didnt see an answer to here... Is there a chance it was all ready overheating before you installed the larger tires and now that you have installed the larger 33" tires that it has made the problem worse? When you installed the new tires did you change any other features on the car?

If you want 38" tyres and a 10" lift, get a trailer.

Whats safer, driving a modified 4wd on the road, or driving a stock 4wd with 3 ton in trailer and 4wd on the back. So instead of having to control a 2T modified 4wd you have to try and control 5T +.

Id like to see a 4wd with trailer and 4wd on ...

to clarify the sidewall thing, he said he was on 30" tyres... a tyre that size is rated to take far more weight than a zuk puts on it, hence taking the air all the way out and capping it again, you actually still have 5 or so PSI in there when going over bumps etc...
