Beating a dead horse...sort of

Okay, a few weeks ago I posted about getting new tires for my '06 XLT 4x4 with a 2.5" leveling kit. It was asked of me to take some front end measurements with my plow on (3/4" drop)... I am still debating over a 33" or 35" tire on my OEM Chrome rims. I know some 33's are slightly bigger than 33" and most 35's are slightly smaller than 35", so what would be the best bet? Plus, A/T or M/T? I want it to look aggressive, fit the area, but not look overwhelming...

My ideas are, but not limited to:
Hankook Dynapro M/T - 325/60 or 65/18
Pro Comp Xtreme A/T - 33x13.5x18
Super Swamper Trxus M/T - 33x12.5x18

What do ya think? Others to consider?...

back when i had my leveling kit i went with 33" and I wished I would have went with 35" then again....I could do almost anything with the 33" because I had a lot of room, I would probably play it safe and go with the 33" since you are going to be running a plow. I really like my tires Pro-Comp X-Terrain our options are pretty limited since the brakes otherwise I'd say some Boggers or Thornbirds.

wandell... what would you suggest? A tire just over 33" (which isn't much bigger than the rugged trails on it already) or a 35" tire which is actually just under 35"??

I honostly want the bigger, but need to be able to turn to plow and not have it rub like crazy.... ideas? and also a tire suggestion??

I still rub sometimes with the setup I'm running. I would say stick with the 33".
