Default Tire Opinions Please

Ok well i have mud terrain tires right now, and its also lifted 3" already. but i am gonna lift it another 2-3" and get either 33" or 35". but i dont know which. i am gonna be driving on pavement alot and i dont wanna cut the power and gas mileage much. so which one? 33"? 35"? also since i am gonn abe on pavement more should i get All Terrain or Go with Mud Terrain ago. i will go into the mud but most of the time be on pavement. and i tend to like to show off and burnout lol.

if your gonna lift and go bigger on the tires, gas milage will suffer. the best thing to do is get ready to do a gear swap at the same time, or shortly after the lift/tire swap. that will help offset the bigger tires affecting the gas milage. if you do 35's, go with the 4.56 gears, anything less than 35's you can use 4.11's.

my truck has under 3" of lift, 295's and I get around 14 mpg hiway...
