31's or 32's
This question is actually for a friend of mine.
He has a 93 4runner withe the 4cyl and a stick shift and he's thinking about upgrading the tires to bfg m/t's. The question is will 32x11.5x15's slow down the runner alot more than 31x11.5x15's?

True this will give a higher top speed with 32s...if he can trun them to get to that speed. But the main importance for his truck will be accel and I don't think it would be that bad but he will notice the diff

whats the gearing on it? i know for my 3.0 with 4.88's stock, moving up to 32's didn't really make much of a difference in terms of power, but i'm not sure with the 22RE

no i mean there will be power loss and loss of mileage, yeah the mileage thing might level itself off, but initially its going to take more power to get up to speed and its more weight to lug around....

how do bigger tires allow for a higher top speed? i understand the loss in acceleration but it doesn't seem to make sense that the top speed is gonna increase?
