Ride quality usually becomes a bit harsher with bigger tires. You might feel more bumps and road imperfections unless you have a good suspension setup to mitigate that.
Thanks for the insight! Wouldn’t swapping back to smaller tires be more cost-effective in the long run?

It depends on how you use your vehicle. If you prioritize off-road adventures, the 33s could be worth it despite the consequences. If you’re mostly on pavement, smaller tires might be better!
Interesting perspective. I guess it really depends on the intended use of the vehicle. Have any of you had experiences with wheel sizes affecting vehicle performance personally?
I swapped from 18s to 20s and noticed a significant change in handling—more responsive, but bumpier on rough roads. If you go with 33s, just be prepared for similar adjustments!
Haha, at this point, I feel like I’m about to start a wheel and tire therapy group! Let’s just hope the drive is worth the bumps, right?
LOL! At least we’ll have good stories to tell if we get bumpy rides! I’m leaning towards giving it a try despite the downsides.
Fitting 33s on 20s can be done, but you’ll need to choose the right tires! Brands like Nitto and Mickey Thompson have some great options that are both durable and versatile.
Nice suggestions! I’ve had good experiences with Goodyear’s Wrangler tires as well. They handle off-road conditions really well.
When selecting tires, make sure to consider your common terrain. If you’re mostly on-road, a more street-oriented tire like the Michelin LTX may suit you. Just my two cents!
Absolutely! Plus the Michelin tires usually come with a good warranty, so that’s a bonus for longevity.

From my experience, BFGoodrich performs well in rain due to their design. But I’ve had a few slippery moments on really wet days. Trade-offs!
Another option to consider is the Toyo Open Country A/T II. They have a great balance between on-road comfort and off-road capability. Plus, they look slick on 20s!
They do look great! Pricing is also important – what’s the typical price range for those?
Toyo Open Country tires usually range from $200 to $300 each, depending on the retailer. Definitely worth it for the quality and performance.
Just remember that fitting 33s on 20s might require some modifications, too. Always check your vehicle’s specs before purchasing!
Good point! What kind of modifications are typically needed?

For fitting larger tires, you may need to do a lift kit or trimming of the wheel wells. Sometimes, just adjusting the alignment does the trick!
