If you have the lower gearing of the Big Tow or Off Road pkg. the performance hit won't be as bad. But until there are aftermarket gears I won't get anything over a 34, and then pick the lightest brand if all else is similar.

Even with that small of a change I still noticed a decrease in power which I feel I got back with the K&N77 CAI. Until I got the Magnaflow, the Titan felt like it was stock as far as power is concerned.

Tirerack says the MTs are 50 lbs. Is that the number you have? My ATs KOs are 58lbs, in the same size. So I've considered those because of the weight savings.

Darnit! I see that you have the lower gearing. That's the other tire I'm considering .... I estimate them at about 75lbs. I found them on the Canadian Toyo site where they didn't have the weight listed.
