This is why I love your channel - no bs, just valuable info we can all learn & use. Great content, sir!

[@Jason-Samko]

I appreciate that! Thank you

[@cameronfreeman6753]

After watching this I expected to see half a million views, crazy it hasn’t gone viral yet. Such a great video.

[@Jason-Samko]

Thank you. Appreciate that

[@shaggybx]

Great video like to add that's why dirt bikes come with 21in skinny tires

[@Jason-Samko]

Great point and very true!

[@michaelallen2221]

Great video Jason! Thanks!

[@Jason-Samko]

Glad ypu enjoyed it

[@JacobEvansAviation]

Great video with a lot of good points! You mentioned tires being the only thing that will increase ground clearance, and I do agree with you, with the exception of portal axles which raise the differential & axle. But I understand those are big bucks and probably why you didn’t mention them.

[@Jason-Samko]

You are correct. They do. But most people won't do them or can't afford to do them. Glad you enjoyed the video

[@mikeyc7072]

Good Video!! More people should be aware of this!!

[@Jason-Samko]

Thank you and glad you enjoyed it

Stock OR tacoma can fit 33". 255/85 r16. Pizza cutters

[@Jason-Samko]

Yep I seen on forums where some were fine with the 33 pizza cutters and a few that did rub when off roading and fully articulating. So I chose to be safe in this video and recommend the 32s so that nobody yells at me if they bought 33s and rubbed. But you are 100% correct most of the time they fit without much work.

[@chrisking6695]

If you don’t do any desert running skinny tires aren’t an advantage. Wider tires give you a longer contact patch when aired down for rock crawling.

[@Jason-Samko]

Contact patch from airing down is a benefit of taller tires rather than wide. The rim won't let a tire get much wider that when aired up. But the contact patch will get longer by a big percentage when aired down on a tall skinny tire. And skinny tires have many advantages like I talked about in the video.

[@timricks1149]

Late to video but besides clearance issues weight is probably the next most important thing to consider when going to a bigger tire. A lot of people never give this a consideration but there can be a big difference between one brand of tire and the next on the same size tire. The new Goodyear Territory MT 33 inch tire that Chevy is putting on the new Colorado ZR2 is a good example of that, it weighs 50 pounds and most of the other brands come in at 55 to 70 pounds which is why Chevy probably went with that tire on their new truck. Speeching of Chevy I happen to be a 2018 Colorado ZR2 owner and those trucks and the new 2023 model ZR2S should come from factory with 3.73 gears. 3.42 is ok for the 2WD trucks but the ZR2 and exspecially the new Bison model with 35 inch tires should have at least 3.73 gears. Maybe the new engine with 430 torque will push those tires ok but I am doubtful

[@Jason-Samko]

Well said and agree with everything you said 100%. And I get the 430 torque numbers but agree 4.10s should ve minimum on the bison and 3.73s on the zr2

[@fchrisb804]

This is great! Thanks for the info. I am looking at a 2023 Gladiator Rubicon and I'm thinking of 35s. I live in Central VA and am in the Blue Ridge Mountains as well as the Outer Banks NC on the beach. What do you recommend?

[@Jason-Samko]

@fchrisb804 the 35x11.50s will fit your stock rims and no real noticeable power loss and only about 1-2 mog loss. If you go 35x12.50 you might need a wider rim too. But live the gladiator on 35s!

[@Coyote5555]

First time here to the channel. I definitely learned alot. Question for you: Is your gladiator a gasser or diesel?

[@Jason-Samko]

Gas. Any questions let me know

[@Coyote5555]

@@Jason-Samkoawesome. thanks for reply. i have a 21' diesel overland with venom power 33s, wanna go 35s and I have a 1.5" leveling kit looking for recommendations based on what you explained etc. def don't want a big negative offset. mainly mall crawling for sure any recommendations? wanna keep stock rims they are 18s

[@Jason-Samko]

@Coyote5555 with the diesel and the level kit you could go 35x1250 or 35x1250. The diesel has the torque and the level kit gives you the clearance. Sounds like a beautiful truck

[@Coyote5555]

Thanks bro huge help subd to your channel keep it coming. live stream would be nice one of these days i'd sign on for sure@@Jason-Samko

very informative I like it thank you

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mycaddigo]

I would think in snow the wider the the tire the less traction.

[@Jason-Samko]

That is correct. In snow skinny is better as it gets to the hard bottom easier.

[@johnroman4608]

Hi .. I currently run 245 / 70 / 16 at tires, bought the car with them on .. Thinking about changing to 255 / 70 / 16. I also thought it’s best to go with 245 / 75 / 16 - so height will be marginally changed and actual speeds. Though not excessively. I do some off road work / towing a boat a few times a month.. Any advice ? Thanks.

[@Jason-Samko]

@johnroman4608 I personally like to go with the tallest tire I can fit on a vehicle.

[@valdius85]

I’d say that the axles snap on slow speeds crawling due to the traction the tire offers and the length of the arm from the center of the axle. This creates a moment/torque - force multiplied by distance. That puts the axle in the force “environment” it is simply not designed for. The weight matters when the tires move fast - force multiplied by deceleration. That’s mechanical energy technically speaking. That will wear out suspension. I hope my English was clear. It’s not my first language and I was studying in different language.

[@valdius85]

BTW: great content. thx

[@Jason-Samko]

you language was perfect! Well done! You are correct. The weight matters also when the traction breaks loose and then catches again. That is where most snap axles. The wheel spins in the dirt and then catches a tree root or a rock and gets traction to stop spinning and pop, the axles snaps.

[@earleclemans4836]

Taller is bad juju for the trans

[@Jason-Samko]

Wider is much worse

[@earleclemans4836]

@@Jason-Samko i dont understand that logic

[@chrisking6695]

Lift doesn’t fit bigger tires on IFS. Lift helps with approach angle. That’s about it.

[@Jason-Samko]

Lift is the only way to get the body and wheel wells out of the way for bigger tires. Lift is mandatory to get bigger tires on all ifs vehicles unless you are only going up one size or so. That's twice now on the same video in e different comments you have tried to correct me with wrong Information. If you have a question on any of it ask anytime. I'm happy to help you understand any of it better if you need. The purpose of my videos is to provide solid facts. And that's what I'm doing here. So my Info is rock solid. Bit again happy to help you understand and of it better if you need.

A holes with big tires 😅 Loosers

😂😂 love the look of big tires
