    After deciding to go with Michelin LTX's on my '10 2wd PreRunner, I'm considering moving up a tire size. I currently run 265/70/16's...Is it worth it to go with 265/75's ?...Opinions..??

    The bigger the tire the worse the gas milage. It's all up to you and what you like. I just put a set on mine but put the stock size back on.

    The actual fuel mileage difference between a P265/70R16 and a P265/75R16 will be pretty negligible after your account for the slight increase in distance travelled vs. your odometer reading. If you go that a 6PR or 10PR "LT" tire, then you'll have a significant increase in fuel consumption though.

    The good about the slightly larger tires:
    - the speedometer will be bang-on accurate - stock reads a few % low
    - it looks a bit better.

    Too few to list.
    P tires is not as bad as an LT. You won't even notice the difference going 70 to 75.
