Are 33 inch tires too much for my 2.4 L?

[MongooseII]

I'm running 48 and at 80 mph with the 2.5lit in 5th gear I'm around 3500 rpm (Only on a strait section of highway and not for very long)

I can do that to, with a down hill and tail wind
but the 2.4 is such a great engine wheeling, once properly geared, and does sip gas on the hwy compared to the 4.0, I just love it. however, it is not DD friendly as I need some HP when I get POed.

I am running 33s with my 2.5L with 4.10 gears and have to shift down to 4th on hills but can hold 70mph in 5th on flat road but red lines bout 75mph

LOL, try 37's on 4.10's - even with a 4.0, the only way I see 5th is downhill with a big tailwind

(4th can be fun sometimes too)

well just to make you feel alittle better its bigger then a 2.4L.....its a beastly 2.5L!!! i know thats a big difference, but my best friend ran 35s with his 2.5, with the stock 4:10 gears, he ended with 4.88s and 35s and he was fine, hit 65 in 5th, i know the 4 banger useing 5th unheard of!

I just swapped out to a D44, much more reliable of an axle and runs great with the 2.4
