I took that into consideration, Im 90% sure the slightly smaller tires have helped, you cna literally feel the truck struggling less to accel and to remain at speed.
plus, Im very much aware of how much an impact it has, ever since the first time I put new rims/tires on this truck 5 or so years ago
now, it might be a moot point as Ive finally decided Im going to trade/sell my truck for something more family friendly
most likely something like a rav4, nice and economical while giving me the benefit of still being able to haul small things. but I certainly will miss my truck...
