I have 35x12.5x15 tires on my truck. It handles better than I expected it would. No street racer but it holds the road well. It's kind of rough riding on rough paved roads, but I'm not sure if that is mainly attributed to the tires or the extra positive arch lift springs up front.

Curious, are you finding narrower 35" tires that will ride comfortably on your 8" wide rims?

IDK if the pancake profile tires on huge rims are a benefit in braking or handling, but it certainly seems trendy. I'll pass though, not on my truck.
