Outer Limits 4x4 Board

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.

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

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

plenty of tires in that price range.

Sorry, its the 4.2tb auto on straight gas. but sounds like i might just stick to 33's. Thanks bogged. The Help i was looking for.
