33 vs 35 on a 79 — gearing, rubbing, and honesty
Not asking which is “best”. Asking what you gave up: speedo, fuel stop spacing, guard clearance, and whether 35s made you a worse line-picker.
Keep it in the LandCruiser neighbourhood.

35s made me a lazier line-picker until a guard told the truth. Gearing felt busier on the highway. I went back to 33s for touring and kept the honesty.
Fuel stop spacing changed more than my pride wanted to admit. Plan the day, not the photo.
