I was deadset on 33" tires when I burn these stockers up.........I had my reasons - 1. wont lose as much top end - 2. less weight - easier on machine 3. 33" will prob get me everywhere.........but as time goes by and I get closer - I am changing my mind to 35's - now my reasoning - 1. why not let this beast be itself and let it eat - its a crawler - will nvm be fast anyway - 2. not seeing tie rod / steering rack issues like I thought . Only real issue is I have the oem tire rack that struggles lifting the 35's but I have a couple extra struts to resolve that - Also just saw in a FB group - a couple people are starting to rubb on 35's which is a no go for me......what are your thoughts?
33" vs 35" tires?

I went with 32' tires on mine. My reasons - 1. - less weight - easier on machine. 2. - 32's will absolutely get me anywhere a 33 or 35 would. 3. - 32" is a much more common size, and readily available if I should ever need another one in a hurry. That was a big reason I took off the 31" Carnivores with 250 miles on them. 4. - No way they will ever have a rubbing issue.
I kind of feel like the 35's are more of a "look at me" purchase than a real practical tire choice.
You asked, those are my thoughts.
Guess one thing you didn't state was your riding style. Are you a mudder, or more of a rock crawling, trail riding type. Mudders are a whole different deal.

More then any clearance you gain I do like that you can roll over bigger rocks easier with larger tires - but I kinda like the 33" ITP coyote.......I carry a spare so commonality of size isnt a factor in my decision process. which 32's did you go with bob?

Go with the 35's...I have MRT's no rub issues, the additional up sprung weight is minimal.To deal with the potential power lost I had Albba do a stock flash to my ECU it runs better now than with the stock tires. With that being said if you do any mud ridding I would suggest buying the factory mud flaps, the KRX has a tendency to throw alot in the cab without them. Only downsde you lose some sight of the front tires but definately worth the money.

These machines are built to run 35s. As I mentioned a ECU from Alba brings it all back.
