Post your 265/75 16s!

Thanks man. They're even beefier in person. Couldn't beat a buy 3 get 1 free deal either...

 

Thanks for the pic! I have stock Steelies and it’s nice to see one with the 265/75z

 

Your welcome

Any recommendations for getting the speedo calibrated. Dealerships in my area won't do it, and tire shops don't have the equipment.

 

with 265/75-16s, my speedo read correct speed per GPS comparison. Speedo read fast with stock size tires vs GPS.

 

Did you test it above 70-75 mph?

 

Toyotas have a tendency to be about 3% under to begin with. Testing against my GPS....I've found the speedo to be dead accurate. Same goes with my 265/70/17 DD tires.

 

yes at 75 mph..

What did you find out with your GPS test and your tires?

 

I have not bought the 265/75/16 yet because I want to make sure I can do it without the spedo or odometer getting screwed up. In light of what Plain Jane Taco said I will have to do a GPS check on my stock set up. What GPS are y'all using to test it?

 

Where is/was that deal happening??

 

I was using one off one my motorcycles Zumo 590LM

edit,, this photo was taken with stock tire size on my Tacoma.

When I checked the speedometer with my GPS it was dead on at 70 mph with my
265/75-16 Michelin Defenders.

 

I used an old TomTom unit that I had laying around

 

4wheelparts.com I checked this morning, and the sale is still going on. I believe it is for all sizes too, I almost went 285/75r16, but since this is my first lift, I didn't want to get into rubbing issues right away. The deal is only for specific Mickey Thompson tires btw. Shipping was really quick. I ordered them on a Monday and had them in my driveway by noon that Thursday.

 

Shoot, I don't have a dedicated GPS. Do you think a GPS app would be as accurate?

 

be worth a try and you could try it in other vehicles for a base line

 

Just checked it out. I knew it sounded to good to be true... they are sold out of everything now..

 

My GPS app appears repeatable on straight sections to 1mph or better, day after day.

After 265/75R16 Wildpeak SL, my truck speedo is around 1mph over estimating real speed around 45mph. Around 70mph, speedo is about 3-4 mph higher than real speed.

Don't worry about speedometer corrections on 265/75R16, they only get you closer to being accurate.

 

Which app are you using?

 

OBDlink most of the time, but I also checked with Google maps, and GPS test plus navigation app (I trust that one). They all seem to agree well, and it's very repeatable when at a constant speed going straight, so I assume also accurate under those conditions. With the stock wheels they are all calibrated to significantly inflate readout on speedo.
