Tire Size Question

I do know you will not be able to stuff the 33" tires up in the wheel wheels on very rough terrain. They get stuck up in there and hit the inner fenders with the stock suspension. These are the stock 31" and I never had them hit.
That's good to know! Especially because I will be plowing mountainous dirt roads which with a plow will most likely simulate very rough terrain at times. Especially with chains on.

I doubt while pushing a snow plow you will ever twist your M1009 suspension as much as cucvrus did in Rausch Creek . You won't have the clearance with a plow frame mounted.

I have had to hand shovel out my plow trucks many a times because of just minor "miscalculations" of terrain under the snow.

In my humble opinion - go with the 33s for plowing. It gets you 1" higher off the ground and more rubber hitting the road for snow traction.
