I agree with that idea, other then the 160/30
With a 150k mile E99 on the original AB codes, 15° HPOP and stock turbo I'm torn between the supporting mods to run 200/80s or just bump it up a little to the 160/30s. I know the 200/80 hybrids would still let me do everything I need the truck to do, but I'd need some other supporting mods to use a 38R. Especially torn because the truck runs like a scalded dog tuned with the stock parts, and I don't ever see the need for more than 400hp/800tq for my purposes.
Hmmmmm.....I wonder what the difference between his 175/80 and 200/80 is?

Maybe not in peak power if it can hold whatever ICP is called for but I certainly noticed a difference in throttle response thus possibly power under the curve as the faster it can ramp up to what is called for the snappier its going to be. Just what I noticed from the seat of my pants with the change.
Fwiw my 15* pump would hold between 2800-2900 icp with the 200/80s. It also had 250k on it.
I have not looked at your pricing but would the hybrids be more $$ than the A code from build stand point forgetting HPOP oil usage.
