Tire Sizing Question

Hello, I have a newbie question for the forum. I have a 2016 DC SR5 with the standard 245 75 16 tires.

The tires look tiny and I would like to go up a size when I buy new tires.

Any problems going up to 265 70 16?

If I’m not mistaken, that’s the size tires on the TRD Off Road.

Will the larger size cause and problems with speedometer or anything else of concern?

Thanks!

 

Yes, yes, yes & no

 

No Same diameter tire right?

 

265/70 is slightly taller, but it does look much better for the size of the truck. So many take off tires from folks upsizing. You should be able to get a good deal on the stock Wrangler Kevlars.

 

I’ve got a set in COLORADO

200 for all 4.

~ 20k on them

 

If your going to buy new tires go 265/75/16. More sidewall and still fits perfect.

 

When my 245 wear out I will be upgrading to 265/75 Falken Wildpeaks A/T3W. 245's are 30.5 in tires with the Wildpeaks being 31.7 in tire. You will gain a little over 1/2 in in clearance with the 265/75's.

 

go for 265/75R16 its one size bigger than TRD offroad.

 

Thanks for the responses. So 265 75 16 will fit without rubbing? Anyone have or thinking of buying the Michelin AT2? I spend most of my time on the road but want a bigger size.

 

Great tire. Not a problem. It’s abour an inch taller. Same width.
It’ll fit.

 

You should only get the larger tires if you have the V6. I just installed a set of the 265/75r16 Falken Wildpeaks A/T3Ws and you feel the extra load on the engine with the taller and wider tire.

 

Remember, going 265/75 results in less MPG and noticeable hit on power. Do you need to go 32’s?

 

Michelin at 2 has very low rolling resistance. I ran them on my super duty. Great tire

Going from a 245 to a 265 will change things a bit. But nothing to fuss about

 

To reduce weight, consider the standard load instead of E load.

 

Great tire. Run them on an F250
