31's. Answer this - why do you need any thing bigger than standard for the road? unless you like malling...

-diffs are too low to run standard.
-31's would look pretty stupid in a 38 space.
-can't afford three sets of tyres,
38's for trail.
35's for tours.
31's for tar.

hows that for a start :rofl:
