Nah,31,s at this stage,i,ll get more lift down the track and having 4.10,s won,t be much chop if i go up a tyre size cause i,ll be back where i started from so i,ll go straight to 4.56.

4.56 will be pretty sucky with 31's, I found it hard work with 32's (to Jambo and back) as even down hills I had to keep my foot on the accelerator, if I let off it slowed down and wouldn't coast down hill at 100kmh. Now with 35's it's brilliant. I'd go 4.11 with 31's or 4.56 with 33's and up.
Cheers
Steve

I have 4.56s with 32s and am doing about 2,150 at 100kph. I think it is perfect, definatly go 456.

Have you changed the speedo gear? I didn't as it was only for a month or so, I guess this could contribute as the computer thought the road speed was a lot higher than it was and may have stuffed up the shift points etc. In saying that I still think 4.56's would not be the best suited to 31's if there is a lot of touring involved, around town it would be a beast off the line with the right speedo gear to sort out the shift points though.
Cheers

I had 4.11's with 32" and I thought it was perfect 2000 @ 100km's. No need for speedo gears as this combo brings it all back to standard
