None of them make much sense and all can be considered ridiculous when fuel is $4.00............so, if you're going to be ridiculous, you might as well get the largest tires that you can find.

Personally, I don't understand what the attraction might be.............if you want the height, just buy a 10 wheel tractor and drive it around without the trailer. Probably get about the same fuel economy..........maybe 10 mpg.

What is the max allowable bumper/headlight height in Cali?

When I see a truck like that I just think "compensating..."

Ok, I'm guessing that the headlight filament is about 6" higher than the highest point of the front fender wheel openings, which appear to be about 10" higher than the top of the front tire, which apparently has a 38" height.

Let's see: 6 + 10 + 38...carry the three...divide by the square root....I'm thinking that he is right there at the max height...if he's lucky...

And because the truck becomes pointlessly huge with tires like that. Fuel mileage has dropped slightly - been about 2mpg less with 38s instead of 35s.

And don't know what ridiculous is... My E55 was way less practical.. It sat wayyyy tooo low, got worse fuel mileage, wasn't as comfy, and was more expensive to fix! :)



With the dinky little 33s, I was getting 23MPG! :)



Hell yeah. I got tired of bending wheels, low profile tires that popped when you hit a pothole, scraping over speedbumps, eating $1300 catalytic converters, $110 oil pans, $50 transmission pans, bumpers, side skirts, fenders, etc.

Yeah, I can't quite hit the apex of my favorite turn at 130 anymore, but then again, I shouldn't have been doing that in the first place. :)

And soon. Getting an air compressor mounted in my rig, then will be taking it up to sand mountain for some fun!



It isn't that horrible to get in and out of... :P;)

Well, maybe it is... :)



Well, my headlight filament sits ~68" off the ground.

:D
Wanna trade?



Uhhh, I'm good... ;)
