Maybe this has been discussed before, but I could not find a specific topic on it.
My current setup consists of 4.10 gears with 295/75R16 Hankook dynapro tires. These tires are a true 33" tall, and weigh in new at 65.5lbs each.
I will soon be upgrading to 4.56 gears, and have about 50% of life left on the hankooks, but when the time to replace comes Im considering a set of 315/75R16 BFG KM2 tires, even though these are almost 2" taller, and almost 1" wider, they actually weigh almost 1lbs less each than my current tires... So if rotational mass plays such a huge factor as some claim it does, my drivetrains should remain just as happy with these "larger" tires? Im i correct or do I have this totally wrong? lol, please give your opinions on the subject.
Picture for attention :sombrero::
