265’s vs 285’s

Are 285’s better for off-roading over 265’s or is the size difference minimal?


Thanks

 

A larger diameter tire is going to be better as it rolls over obstacles easier. A wider tire can be helpful in soft stuff like sand.


Of course, any increase over Stock affects gearing, MPGs, and can cause rubbing.

 

I went from 265 to 285, it’s a big difference.

 

the size difference is 20mm (slightly over 3/4") wider on 285s. it will give a wider contact patch. you can also look at 255/80r17 or 255/85r16 and think about a longer contact patch when you air that tire down. it depends on what obstacles you go over and how you are using the vehicle.

 

Wow, hold back from all of the detail please.

 

Purposely vague. Maybe OP will get the hint.

 

275’s. Best of both worlds.

Perhaps it would be best to identify the complete tire dimensions. 265 and 285 are only the section width.

 

get 285s

 

Especially 285/20/24’s

 

Shiny!

 

All other things equal, they are about 7% better.

 

I’d say why not go with 295’s

 

2+9 / 5 = 2.2

That’s not enough, clearly.

 

I want Pi, or I'm out!

285 for sure
