Go with the 35s. I can't comment on your tire choice because I haven't used them. I just ordered a set of wrangler Duratracs. Thought I would give them a try.

I couldn't tell you either... but IMO if mileage is an issue go 33, if not go 35.

06f350, you'll have to let me know how they are, I'm looking at a set as a compromise tire that I can use plowing.

Will do. I won't be plowing with this truck but I pull a trailer with a bobcat during snow with this truck, main reason I went with the Duratracs.

We put a set of 35x12.50x20 on a leveled F250 adn that thing rode smoooooth all the way to the alignment shop. Not to mention it looked great.

My buddy is just on his 2nd set of the 35x13.50x20 ATZs on his Dmax and they look great and are the same way. PRetty good in the mud.

No up close experience with the Toyos, but i know everybody likes 'em.

Dude what do you do with your truck?? Toyos have an outstanding rep for sure. Those Duratracs look like an awfully good compromise between an MT and an AT to me, though. I have 40k miles on BFG MT's and still a good amount of tread left and I've been happy with them. That said I think Duratracs are my next tire, maybe Cooper STT's.

Go with Falken Rocky Mountain ATS. Best tire for your buck and will put those toyo's to shame, They sell them at Discount Tire,
Look for Falken Rocky Mountain ATS tires by size in the Grand Rapids Metro Area - Discount Tire/America's Tire

Why are you using 12" wide wheels for those tires?

this. unless you are looking for that stretched tire look, that is silly in my opinion, I'd go with a 9.5 or 10 inch wide if using the 13.5 tires. will look much better, and keep you from having to lift it as much to clear the fenders.
