Fuel mileage and power loss. A 33x12.50 is significantly heavier than a 275/70 (which is barely heavier than stock for many tire models).

The Cooper S/T Maxx is only rated up to a 8.5" wheel. I want the S/T Maxx as well but I am waiting find out if it will have issues because of those differing specs.......I don't think 1/2" will cause issues but I dunno
I will be in the market for new tires sometime next year, since my truck will be going into storage because I don't drive it in the winter. Right now I am running 325/60/18's on 18X9 wheels with 5.5" of BS and my truck has a 2.5" AS leveling kit. I was thinking about going with either a Toyo M/T or Cooper STT 275/70/18, they are just slightly larger (about .4") but 2.5" narrower than the tires I currently have.
So is anyone running the a 275/70/18 on 18X9 wheels and a leveling kit?? If so do you have any pictures? Any input on my possible tire options?
Thanks guys!
