33's or bigger??

[clifford97]

im starting to put away some new tire money, but in not sure what to get. right now im running 33's they are pretty good as far as wear and tear i havent really had any problems with them binding anything up or causing excessive wear to anything. how ever on ocassion they do rub, today i found the outside tread all cut up.(suspecting my bent bumper) now a friend of mine has a set of 35 bfg MT'S w/50% tread left and he wants 400 for all 4. i would like to eventually run 35's so maybe now is the time to upgrade. i dont mind having to cut my fenders and etc. i just want to know if the bigger 35 will put more stress on my axle's and bearings and etc and cause them to wear out even faster. dont want to save money on tires that will cost me to fix everything else... thanks in advanced guys.

It all comes down to maintenance. Plus if you are not changing to a wider or more offset wheel, it really shouldn't be a big concern. Properly set up bearings and properly tightened locknuts will be the ticket to making everything last like it should.
