Wozza,

I ran 33's all the way from the tyre shop to the gear install place. 20 minute drive and that was long enough for me!

Its liveable...especially if you're going from 31s to 33s. Now liveable ain't ideal, but you'll survive...I have for a while now.

And as for offroad stuff, down here we don't have much rock, so the 33s and higher gearing work alright in the mud (and it did fine in the sand in SA as well).

Of course, having said that, gears are way up on the list!

Onroad - manageable, you dont even notice after a while

Offroad - can be a pain in the arse, but when was the last time you took it off road?

If I get 5 seconds to myself I'll let you take it for a spin.
