Level and 35” tires. 5.0 performance hit?

[heavymetaltremor]

Wondering if anyone can comment on how the 5.0L Tremor drives and performs after a level and 35’s? Especially given the extra rotational mass of the tires. I’m looking at 35x12.5x17, or 315/70/17 tires which are approx. 30LBs heavier per corner over the stock grabbers.

Is it horrible? Does it struggle? How does it ride? Is it not that big of a deal? Any comments or experience is appreciated. Thanks!

It doesn’t struggle but you will feel a little hit in power and fuel economy. Call it 5% loss. Add intake and exhaust then your back at a wash

Leveled and 285/75 Toyos which are 5lbs more per tire: 3% hit to MPG.
Rides much better absorbing bumps - worth it.
