May some, just not much. Most likely you will need to do a gear swap to put
the power and mileage back where it was before the 33s. Just curious, but
why the choice of mud terrains over all terrains for what seems to be a
daily driver? Since mud tires have much wider voids(gaps and spaces in the
tread), mud tires and pavement really dont mix and you will not get hardly
any good tread mileage(tire life) out fo those tires. I know 33s arent
cheap, but maybe you have the cash flow spend on new tires and replace them
more frequently. Either way, for a daily driver...........all terrains might
have helped and a gear swap will definately help. Not laughing, but I just
sit here and giggle when I think of someone driving around daily with a set
of Super Swampers and the hummmmmmmmm those things produce at highway
speeds. Good Luck!
