285/75r16 on auto trans stock gears

I have 265/75 p rated tires on my 2016 4x4 SR auto with the stock 4.30 gears. I barely noticed a difference with power loss if not any.

I'm thinking about bumping up a size to 285s. Anyone have experience with this current truck with the auto trans 6 speed on how it would run with these tires? I know it's a 4 banger that always struggles, but will it be driveable on highway and maintain cruising speeds?

Thanks

 

One factor besides size to consider is that most 285's are Load E tires making them a bit heavier, especially compared to a P-rated tire.

 

Any update on this OP, did you get the 285s?

 

He did, the truck drove alright but he was planning on regearing

 

Yeah the truck drives okay.. but it definitely needs 4.88 or maybe even 5.13. It’s a slug and sometimes it gets stuck in 4th because it thinks it needs more time to get up to speed. On the highway I can’t use 6th at all, I have to keep it in 5th using S mode.

 

Sweet yeah I assumed I won't be getting away from a regear throwing on 33s on a 2.7L haha

 

Did you end up throwing on the 285’s?

 

i have the 2.7 v4 my first ones were 265/70/16 it looked decent and recently I got 285/75/16 I had to cut the a little on the mud flap fender part due to rubbing. But I didn’t notice any decrease of power on both the 285 just ride more smooth and chill only thing Different is the roar sound on highway when doing 60-80

 

Do you have any pictures?

 

Here's my truck when I first got it with the 285/75/16 on 16x8 with 0 offset wheels. The auto could use more power but I'm getting used to it.



And now with the 305/65/17 on 17x8.5 with -10 offset.

 

285s on 4:10s with 3rz 2.7l
