new tires, speed difference question
alright guys, so I noticed my firestones on my truck are cracked, so i bought this set below off craigslist for $220. what a steal eh?
im looking for new tires, the ones currently on there are 275/60/20, which compared to the ones i have on now, will give me a speed difference of 7mph at 60mph. looking to narrow it down some... how can I do that? would putting 265/50/20 on it work? I don't want it to look too hilarious...
heres how she currently sits:
thanks again guys!

so i had some time today... ended up swapping out the wheels.
definitely loving the look and stance of it.
now, i got underneath the truck to look at where the VSS is, and i found a pretty serious leak somewhere. my transfer case looks like this:
ill clean it up, looks like it might be from the transmission. I caught some oil drips coming from the pan.
the funny thing is... this all started with me changing the brake MC on the truck, in hopes that it would make stopping better. voluntary thing... and then a brake line busted. and then i noticed dryrotted tires. and then this.
but still love this truck!

thanks!
forgot to ask.... how much additional wear and tear will running 33's vs 30's put on the ball joints/steering/shocks? everything is brand new on it, except the shocks for now. I don't want to be changing any of that crap anytime soon. once was plenty!
debating is i should go with 275/55/20 tires at the end of summer, then itll be only 32, and wont eat ball joints as much.
