Tire visual difference: 31" vs. 32" tires
Ive been thinking about going down a size in tire from the deafening 32x11.50r15 I run to say, 31x10.5r15 or 265/75r15. The question is how much visual impact do you all think it would make? The selection of tire is a lot bigger in the other sizes. Pics would be a help.

Re: Tire visual difference: 31" vs. 32" tires
I don't know about your size tires but here is mine going from 33's to 35's. As far as noise you might try a different tread, I like the BFG All Terrains

Re: Tire visual difference: 31" vs. 32" tires
what size are those 33's? Question was ..do you think a 1" diameter drop in size would be that noticeable.

If you are worried about highway noise, stay away from side lugs and go to an all terrain or hiway tread.

Re: Tire visual difference: 31" vs. 32" tires
I agree with the above, it is the tread that is what makes a tire noisy, not the size. My 01 tahoe has 22" rims/tires with directional street tread that measure 32" tall by 12.5" wide and they aren't loud at all.

Re: Tire visual difference: 31" vs. 32" tires
Go for a ride in a truck that has Swampers on it. After that, your tires will seem quiet! LOL!
