Aloha guys! Thinking about switching my 35 x 12.50r15lt tires to 33 x 13.50 x 15. What can I expect with this switch? Is it possible and will it be less stressful on the engine and axle? Mahalo for the advice aloha!

Is it a situation where everything set up and has been geared and used to 35's? I'm sure the stock set up is for something like 28 inch tires or smaller. Sorry just picked her up, first car with tires over 31"

Aloha!

Great yes switching to smaller tires will help the truck last longer but the speed will be off slightly becasue of the different tire size. Other than that it will be much better, you will like it.
