I am going to be hitting the order button later tonight on a new set of tires. I would like some advice on tire size to order.
I have 2.5" suspension / 3" body lifts and am not afraid to cut. I have the 3.73 gears so I am a bit concerned how the larger tires will fare with them.
I am going to be going with the Tread Wright Guard Dog M/T's but am back and forth on size.

Is the extra 1" in tire height and .25" in width worth an extra $130 out of the wallet?
