oh the different choices!

I am looking hard at the Falken A/T3w. Life in WA state is wet, so we traction is a must.
Goodyear DuraTrac is another option, but the Falken seems to be hard to beat.

 

I go to my local Discount Tire, and strangely enough the 265/70/16 is more expensive than the 265/75/16.
Now I have another decision to make even if I choose this tire.

 

I ran Duratracs on the Olympic Peninsula for three years. Dry and snow traction were fantastic, and wear was extremely good. But I did not like their wet traction at all. They always felt more slippery than other tires.

 

Why not go 265/75/16? They should fit without rubbing on stock wheels and the power loss is hardly noticeable.

 

The only real con I can think of is the computer (speedo, odometer etc) will all be slightly off.
I wonder if the dealer (or somebody else) can update the onboard computer and change the tire size.

 

You can buy a new speedo gear with a different # of teeth that corrects the problem. Although honestly, I wouldn’t worry about it with just one tire size larger (it doesn’t make a very big difference going to 32’s).

On my first gen at least, my speedo is actually more accurate with 32’s than 31’s.

 

I put 265/75R16s on my 2014 and the speedometer and odometer are dead on accurate now. It had the 265/70R16 originally.

I have verified it with 2 different GPS units and the Ultra Gauge.

 

Do you have an AT or manual?

 

Another vote for the Falkens! Awesome tire. Looks even better in person.

 

If I may ask, how did you manage not paying taxes in TX?

 

I've got the Falkens in standard load 265/75r16 and I love them. Great in the snow and on the beach!

 

idk, they just didnt charge me tax

 

Lol... cant argue with that.

 

Hahaha my thoughts exactly!
