so why do you need a set of 32s for the road as they will handle like S**T and will cause your turning and speed ratio's to be Comprimised

i just think you should stick with the 235's for road use

er put it this way what the hell is 235/70/16 on a plus 2 inch lift springs and 2 inch body lift on it. as for speed probably change the diffs in the future sometime. or an ecu superchip fitted

very silly and unstable
