BIG difference!

Today a buddy gave me a set of michelins that are the stock size for my 05 6.0. I had 35x12.50x17's Wild Country radial rvt's on prior to this (how I bought it). All I can say is WOW! Rides like a caddy now and feels like I gained 30hp. I don't think I'll ever go to a bigger tire w/o regearing again. I'm also hoping mileage will improve, I just filled up and will keep everyone posted on any difference.

Cool. There's something to be said about having the right combination of gears and tires.

Might want to check speedometer to verify accuracy. Previous owner might have had speedomoter changed to the larger tire size.
