    265/70R16 was what the label said. The tires on it are 255/70R16 Wild Country Touring SUV. Sounds like the wrong tires to me. :confused:

    The ones on it are a little small. You can go up to a 265/75/16 with no issues.

    can u fit a 4.10's to a v6? just had mine done at 4wheel with a 4.56's. but was computing for the mpg and somehow it is still the same as with the stock 3.73's

    I dont see why you couldnt. Are you adjusting for tire size when computing your MPG?

    what i did was just compute the total mileage i got with how much gallons i gas up

    oopssss...maybe ur right i didnt compute for the tire size.

    coz i think that the mileage is not also accurate coz i havent done the calibration on my speedometer. hahahahahha my bad........

    can u show me how to compute for it.

    thank so much
