Tire Diameter and Width Advice

No problems here with handling or stopping (it'll lock up the front wheels no problem if I step on it hard enough, the rears are kept in check by the rear ABS system). I also keep their pressure between 30-35 PSI for the road (closer to 35 for those long freeway hauls).
Every vehicle is different though... Stopping matters are largely determined by your brake system components and their proportioning. I recall the early Toyotas had non-vented rotors which is something you may want to upgrade to if it hasn't already been done.

Thing to remember is it's a 4x4 truck and not a sports car, and drive it accordingly.

Good point about the brakes. Mine has been updated with later model vented rotors but they may still not be large enough for 35's at freeway speeds. Something else to check into.

OK,

Thanks everyone for your input. I'll run 33's-35's depending on the axle ratios I end up with and whether I can find the OD gears sets (for the trans) that will give me a taller OD ratio.

I really appreciate everyone's comments and help!
