How is the ride quality as compared to the 40's? Do you notice a difference in power/takeoff with a slightly lower rear end ratio with the 35's? How much better is the handling? Please let me know as I ordered the 40's without knowing they made a 35. Thanks.

no difference in ride. I had 275/40/20 in front and they rubbed. alex at speed depot told me they wouldn. bullshit, they do! I changed to the 275/35/20 in front and no problems at all. I have a 315/35/20 in the back and they are fine also.

I checked the tire heights with this combination. Front 27.6" and rear 28.7". I would think the computer would freak out with that much difference. Did it?

I have driven about 100 miles since putting them on and no computer freaking out here.you talking about less than 1/2" difference in height once you put it on the car.

Thanks for measuring. Please keep us posted. If the computer doesn't freak, then I want to go with the 35 up front.

Good job. One guy takes a risk and succeeds, then the rest of us benefit, too.
