(half joking) - I regret 35's every time I'm pulling those guys out!
I know a lot of people who continually stepped up on tires. This is a very expensive approach. Hopefully, you've evaluated why you'd need/want them and that justifies your upgrade. Also, I didn't think Duratrak's came in a 35 yet - good to know. I think they are a great all around tire.

I read all of this about regretting not going with 35's but I think I would regret them *at this point*. It is a DD for me, money is already tight, so if I get 35's and gas goes to $4 or even $5 a gallon then I will be GREATLY regretting getting 35's. So yes, I may regret not getting 35's in the future, but I have to do what is best for now, and so 33's it is!

I did regret getting 35's, so I bought a set of 37's sold 4 of the 35's with less then 1000 miles on them and the spare that never touched the ground was sold back to the tire shop for full refund, all in all ended spending only about 250 more than the original purchase.
This is a daily drive, so as far as gas goes,

I have a 2dr auto w/ 4:10s. I had quite a bit of power loss even with 33s. After I installed the CAI and Flaspaq I got a lot of it back. But without anything or a re-gear you will be a dog....imo. I guess it just depends on how much of a dog you can handle....
