Another 35" Question

[dklyne454]

Righto, going blind after staring at the computer screen for the last 2 hours looking in the search section and still not finding what i am really after.

So without directing me back to that rabbit hole, i need new tyres.

i have a 3inch with 30mm spacers, about to fit a 2 inch BL.

Is QLD the only state where a 35 is illegal? and what is classed as illegal, as a Maxxis Bighorn 35 is actually only a 34.5?

How much worse is the fuel economy on a 35 as opposed to a 33?

how much is gained by a 35 over a 33 other than looks?

Maxxis seem to be the way to go for overall life, traction, and price. I want a decent tyre and dont want to pay much more then $250-$300. It will be a daily driver doing about 30 000 a year. and playing whenever i feel like it. (other words, any chance i get )

Thanks for your help in advance

no, they are illegal everywhere, but can be passed in other states with an engineers certificate.

and what is classed as illegal, as a Maxxis Bighorn 35 is actually only a 34.5?

its whats on the sidewall. it says 35, it could be 29.1.. but says 35 so is a 35

How much worse is the fuel economy on a 35 as opposed to a 33?

on what truck? what engine? auto/man?

how much is gained by a 35 over a 33 other than looks?

1inch higher off the ground.

Maxxis seem to be the way to go for overall life, traction, and price.

Depends who you talk to, and which way the wind is blowing.
