Is Bigger always Better ?

So my stock tires are on their last leg and i am wondering if i should get bigger tires or keep the same size. I currently have the 245/75 and i was wondering if it would be beneficial in anyway to go to a 265/70. If i am not mistaken that will be the same height just wider correct ? I don't do much off-roading but i generally like the stance of wider tires. Any feedback would be beneficial.
Thanks again.

 

According to her the answer is yes!!

 

Aside from looks, I can't think of any real benefit from going with the wider tire other than your speedo will finally read correct. If you have 245/75R16, they are the same overall height as 265/70R16. You get some benefit to going with something like 265/75R16 in the sense of ground clearance but not much (also, with the taller tire, your speedo will finally read correct but your odo will be off a bit).

 

Lol i figured someone was going to say it . Congrats on being the first one to say it.

 

Just wondering how will the odo be off ? Thanks for the input.

Plug in your sizes in this calculator. It's one of the better ones on the web, and will answer all your questions. That is except how to get 37's to fit

 

Thanks for the reply!
