Tire Rub ?? Should be easy
I'm going to switch from my 35's to something smaller. My question is.....
Is it the height of the tire or the width that causes the rubbing? I currently have 35x12.5's on there..... the tires I'm looking at are either 33x11.5 or 34x11.5's.... just don't want to buy a brand new set and have them rubbing again...

Either way... 33x11.50's should be money right? I mean the thing came with 33's and with the tiny amount of rubbing I'm getting should be gone with subtracting an inch or two on both the height and width.
Follow up to this too... I'm looking at Terra Grapplers.... wth is the difference between LightTruck and Passenger tires of the same make and size?

Should be ok on the size. As for LT vs P the difference is load capacity and the PSI that they get inflated to. P tires are usually inflated to around 35-40 psi, LT's usually run 50-80psi. The LT will be good for an extra 500 - 1000 lbs of load capacity per tire.
Normally I would switch to LT's since I tow a lot but the tire pressure monitoring system complicates this since the LT's inflated properly would look like an over-pressure to the system. The LT's will also ride rougher due to the higher pressure and stiffer sidewalls.
